[ExI] "Controlling the cost of health care" an immoral idea?

[Adrian Tymes]

Show them the exponentially increasing income stream first.  Otherwise,
they believe they won't be able to pay exponentially increasing costs, no
matter how important.

Also, not all costs of health care are actually about health care.  Quite a
bit is guarding against opportunistic lawyers, waiting for doctors to make
the slightest mistake.
