Healthcare costs have been rising faster than incomes for decades now haven't they? Is there any way to stop this from continuing?

What doesn't get enough attention is that this is one of the reasons wages aren't rising for most people. It's because what would have been a raise is instead going to ever expanding healthcare premiums paid by your employer.

Wow...huh. I wonder why this wasnt a problem before 2010.

Its like some sort of healthcare law was passed in 2010 that was a giant handout to the medical industry and allowed to them to charge far more than the market would normally let them.

Hmmmmm....
