Explain why the lack of Universal Health Care Coverage can raise health care costs.

Question

Thank you Ms. Sue for your previous help....

Answer 1

Insurance companies are in business to make a profit. A universal health care plan would not make a profit. Also -- a single payer could hold down costs where dozens of insurance companies don't have the clout to control costs. Countries with universal health care plans spend less per person than the U.S. but their citizens have better health than Americans.
