Legal and Insurance costs need to be recalibrated so that Medical can afford to slash costs

While recalibrating legal and insurance costs could potentially lead to lower health care costs, it's important to note that this might not directly translate into increased access to health care for low income individuals. Consider the case of pharmaceutical prices, which are often set high due to patent protection and research costs, not just legal or insurance costs. Therefore, even if legal and insurance costs were lowered, these other factors could still keep prices high and out of reach for many.

What do you think about the idea of not just lowering costs, but also increasing Medicaid funding to ensure that low income individuals can actually afford these necessary services?
