Good points, but everything you wrote about Healthcare Consolidation are valid when applied to Education Consolidation mandated and controlled by government. Like government funding for government mandated schools resulting in affordability issues for private education and compensation in private education being a fraction of what government workers get which have led to massive consolidation in education under government monopoly. The result is the same as it is in healthcare, less choice, higher costs, and a system that serves the interests of institutions rather than students, parents, or society. And you're right .... it is maddening!
💯. All of these burdens are killers of motivation for those in the declining ranks who still hold self determination as a value. Government at Federal, State and local levels impose more and more pressure upon those who are productive to provide for others beyond poor health or disability. This imbalance is reflected in the unsustainable government deficits that can never be reconciled with increasing contributions of “fair share” ie increased taxes.
