Never mind that actual healthcare costs are more expensive than in other countries on a pill by pill and procedure by procedure basis.
Healthcare cost in the United States isn't about liberal or conservative or progressive or whatever label. Get over your tribal blame game.

Decrease demand (i.e., stop eating and lifestyle'ing in ways that are unhealthy) and prices will fall. But we refuse to prevent the preventable, and then complain about costs?
My point is simple. You can't talk responsibility about healthcare and costs without talking about personal health and personal responsibility for health. Health and healthiness drives healthcare cost.
But, if you insist on making a straw man out of it, as you have, the popular term seems to be 'lib-tard', to judge from my Very talkative coworker.
