I hope the panel takes a hard look at the role of the healthcare system in fueling growth in inequality in wealth and income in the US. With healthcare now at or above 20% of the GDP, and with the robust increase in the market cap of publicly traded healthcare stocks, especially since the passage of the ACA (as pointed out at the recent Yale conference), there has to be a significant transfer of wealth from the purchasers of healthcare goods and services to the providers of those goods and services.
