Would you rather pay $153 or $1,049 to cover another person's health care?

How about the option where we lower healthcare costs for everyone by stopping the insane malpractice lawsuits? Then go after people who would rather pay for their cell phones, internet and booze rather than their healthcare before we allow our congress and president to create another bureaucratic entitlement program. Medicare and Social Security costs have skyrocketed since they were created and the answer is to create a new entitlement? I don't get it.
