Health Insurance Crisis!

The way things seem to work in this world is that problems are allowed to drift until they hit a wall and a crisis exists. I think we've hit that wall.

Curently, several health insurance companies have purchased existing hospitals, this will probably
accelerate until most of the more profitable facilities will be controlled by the health insurance industry. (When I say "profitable" I mean those in urban areas with good traffic.) As a result of this, your health insurance provider will direct you to hospitals which they control.

Out state hospitals will lose patients to these hospitals and be further degraded. Finally, the cost of medical care will be so high that the federal government will be forced to perform a bailout. Remember, the high cost of health are transalted into higher profits for the health insurance industry.
