Healthy Is As Unhealthy Does

So, how does getting the government involved in health care make it cheaper and more affordable? I'm struggling to figure this out. Given government meddling at the state and federal level has led us to our current quagmire, I'm unsure how more government meddling will fix it.

Honestly, the congresscritters and administration touts running around claiming it will don't have a clue, either. So why they're pretending they do is beyond me. I guess they think pretending knowledge they don't have and insulting their constituents is the winning playbook. I guess we'll find out next year.
