Will becoming less dependent on foreign oil make health care cheaper?

If alternative forms of energy where to be introduced then foreign oil costs would eventually go down and more money will become available for health care. Many more jobs will be created if alternative forms of energy were to be introduced. What do you think?Will becoming less dependent on foreign oil make health care cheaper?
Assuming what you say is true. It still wouldn't make health care cheaper. It would only free up more money to spend on it. Next problem is alternative forms of energy are more expensive than traditional forms of energy.Will becoming less dependent on foreign oil make health care cheaper?
Reducing our ';dependence'; on foreign oil essentially means spending more for domestic energy sources. ';Creating'; jobs by spending more money on the finished product doesn't actually create anything. If you spend $100 on gas from foreign sources, and you must spend $110 for domestic energy sources, you now have less money to spend on other things.





That may not affect the cost of healthcare, but you now have less money to spend on whatever it is you want to buy.
The market price for oil is worldwide.The source mix for one country does not affect that price.
