No, you're throwing out an argument based on two terms with zero elaboration or backing for the claims that this is why our hospital and medical expenses are so high.

Failing to consider anything else like the fact that hospitals have to constantly be bailed out by the government because they can't refuse emergency room care to anyone so we have all the uninsured and illegals getting all of their medical treatment via emergency rooms.

But no, you must have the answer and even though back a few years ago when the republicans controlled both houses and the white house, they didn't fix it, and now, neither will the democrats. You should run for office.
