Hi, so i'm guessing this is a multiple choice question where i wants to know the effects of rising health care costs.
00:09
Okay, so which of these is right? all right, one, lower government revenue, especially as the proportion of the population paying for the benefit decreases.
00:20
That could happen, but that's not necessarily a result of rising health care costs.
00:26
I mean, that's basically saying the government's getting less tax money as less people, pay for their health insurance.
00:33
Well, that doesn't really have to do with health care costs really uh, two, resulting in a shifting of the cost from the government to the population receiving benefits.
00:43
Okay, that just has to do with money.
00:46
The government not paying so much that the population will.
00:51
That also not necessarily has to do with rising health care costs.
00:54
Three, stretch government budgets, especially as the proportion of the population qualifying for benefits increases.
01:01
Okay.
01:02
That is actually going to happen.
01:05
The reason is because the government, i mean, all right, health care costs are hospital bills.
01:12
Okay, we're not talking about government programs or taxes.
01:15
We're just talking about hospital bills.
01:17
That's what rising health care costs is...
