Right now I pay 25 percent of my income for health insurance. I need to because of my health problems. 4 weeks ago I had my 5th heart procedure. My meds are outrageous in cost, but ins covers most with co-pays.
I am one of the lucky ones, because a lot of my costs are covered. My last procedure, 28 hours in the hospital, for one stent, 11,000 dollars. Thats without costs from 2 specialists that have not come in yet.
Could our system be better, absolutely. Is it going to get there? Not with the politicians in this country.
