How Health Insurance Could Help Fix America's Huge Debt

America's national debt is a massive problem. It has reached over $38 trillion. This number keeps growing fast. Interest payments alone are around $1 trillion each year. Experts warn this is not sustainable. One person who has ideas on how to tackle this is Mark Cuban. He thinks health insurance companies and providers take advantage of people. They do this by making things complicated and hiding real prices. Cuban suggests breaking up these companies. He also wants to fine them if they overcharge or deny care.Cuban's idea is part of a bigger plan. He wants to make health care more transparent. His company, Cost Plus Drugs, shows how this can work. They sell drugs at cost plus a small markup. This cuts out middlemen and lowers prices. Cuban believes similar changes in health care could save money. This could help reduce the national debt. But not everyone agrees. Economists say fixing health care won't solve the whole debt problem. The debt is caused by many things. These include tax and spending choices, and political gridlock. Still, Cuban's ideas could be a step in the right direction. Right now, many Americans are struggling with health care costs. Insurance subsidies have ended. This has led to higher costs for many people. Health care is a top concern for voters. They want Congress and the President to address this issue.
