Why would the task of Universal health care coverage raise health care costs?

Answer 1

I don't think it would raise health care cost. A single provider would be able to negotiate with companies for better prices.

Answer 2

I think it would because more people are seeking health care now, medical treatments are more extensive and sophisticated now then ever before, the cost of training health care professionals,increase in lawsuits, as people live longer they require more health care, fraud by both providers and members is increasing
