The costs get filtered down to the consumers of health insurance through higher premiums.
And, the consumer public who buy the products and services made by the companies that buy health care for their workers.
They all pay.

Well, in the US, 75% of people who are insured, have it through their employers. When the employers' costs rise, they have to add that into their cost of doing businss, so it's the END USER of their goods and services who pick up the cost when medical care rises.

Government NEVER picks up the cost - they just shift it onto the population as a whole. Remember, government doesn't HAVE any of their own money - they get ALL their money from YOU, THE TAXPAYER. Any time you see any government benefit or program, it's not the policians paying the bill, IT'S YOU, THE TAXPAYER.
