The increasing cost of healthcare means that more people cannot afford healthcare. So, when people get sick they often wait until it gets bad enough that they have to go to the hospital, instead of the doctors' office. This means that there are increasing costs to the person. The hospital has to treat people whether they have insurance or not. Tax money is used to pay for those people that don't pay their medical bills. When more people can't pay, taxes are raised on the people that do have jobs and areable to pay.
