Subsidizing payments is a source of cost increase. For example, I've received several ads to install a high efficiency air conditioner at my home. The ad informs me of the Federal tax credit for green upgrades. If I had a new a/c installed, the who's really gets the Federal credit, me or the a/c company? If the credit increases demand, some or all of that credit gets passed to the a/c company in the form of a higher price. writerdood – Thanks for the comment.

We should focus on reducing costs, not feeding the organizations and institutions that have made increasing those costs their business.
