This should allow less taxes assuming the government doesn't spend the savings elsewhere.
Health care is the biggest expense for any government, not looking at ways to cut it, is foolish.

If only it were this easy, the US would be #1 in the world in health care spending as a % of GDP. Instead they're dead last. Once you introduce the profit motive to health care, everyone becomes a customer instead of a patient. And there's nothing money making corporations love to do more than rob customers blind. Time Magazine had an excellent look line by line at an American hospital bill. No shocker that they are making 10,000%+ margins on many items.
