But nothing that is being proposed by the government is likely to
lower those costs, and much that is being proposed is almost certain

This is due to the republiCAN't policy of destroying america. They will
only pass a bill that puts money in their pocket and benefits BIG
corporate business at the cost of american lives.
Saving money or lives for american citizens is not on the republiCAN'T
agenda

Being the math illiterate that you are, you're right that nothing
being proposed will lower costs, they're not meant to. They're meant
to lower the *rate* at which those costs will continue to increase.
Meaning, to use a simplified explanation that you can hopefully grasp,
if what's being proposed will cost $1 trillion over 10 years, then
keeping things at the status quo will cost $2 trillion over the same
ten years. That's what reform is about - minimizing the rate of
increase.
