Ted Kennedy, one of the worst tax creating, tax evading (conservatives should feel free to evade taxes, but if some asshole like Ted Kennedy creates a tax, then they should pay it just like they want everyone else to) elitist progressives to ever live, pushed the HMO Act through knowing that it would raise costs, which it did. When the Federal Government mandated that insurance cover all medical costs, rather than letting true insurance (i.e., coverage for catastrophic events only) exist, that greatly increased the cost of health care. It also increased administrative costs (doctors would charge less for general check-ups, etc, etc). If you were to pay just 1k/yr for health insurance that covered only emergencies, then health insurance costs and the cost of health care in general would go down. But the progressives don't want that because they want to control health care. If they really wanted health care for more people, then they'd support deregulation, as it has proven that the regulations have sent health care costs through the roof.
Then, you have the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which further raised the costs of health care and reduced individual choice. It was nothing more than corporate welfare, where it intended to destroy the remaining remnants of the free market. Who supported the IRC of 1954? Progressive Eastern Establishment Neocon Nazifuckhead Rockefeller Republicans like Eisenhower who want corporate control, NWO-style, over everything. If there were no federal mandates that insurance companies covered everything, then the costs would go down, because you could pay out of a pocket at a discount for small things plus with a personal tax deduction, then you could pay less for insurance plus with a personal tax deduction.
Another example of a progressive wanting control, rather than Health Care for everyone is Krugman, someone that I assume has an elitist agenda. He writes:
What allows progressives like Krugman and Kennedy to be popular among the poor is the ignorance of their followers. If their followers knew they were elitists who really wanted to control system, rather than to give to everyone, then how many followers would they have?
I'd guess not many, and they'd be out of power or whatever if the people were to ever realize that all most progressives do is prey on mass ignorance.

(source: http://mises.org/daily/5359/The-Medical-Marketplace-Free-and-Unfree)About that advisory board: We have to do something about healthcare costs, which means that we have to find a way to start saying no. In particular, given continuing medical innovation, we can't maintain a system in which Medicare essentially pays for anything a doctor recommends. And that's especially true when that blank-check approach is combined with a system that gives doctors and hospitals who aren't saints a strong financial incentive to engage in excessive care.
[T]he point is that choices must be made; one way or another, government spending on healthcare must be limited.
