we all are and it is way cheaper that this crap called obamacare
At $8500 to $8900 per year per every single living person in the US, you're damned right we're paying for it. It is unsustainable and it's destroying our economy. While the ACA is a step in the right direction, it's not going to do much to reduce costs in the long run, although it might stabilize costs somewhat. The biggest problem is that employers are the ones providing the bulk of insurance to everyone. What I do not understand is why employers didn't come out and ask to be let off the hook from this when the law was being written. Instead, it was mandated that employers must provide insurance if they have over 50 employees. Long term we need to get this out of the hands of employers.
except NOW it is up to 25,000K per year.
and this crap obamacare is set up to get the employer-based plans dumped starting 2018,so your wish will come true, but it will NOT be a benefit for the Americans.
And if you think that universal system might be a savior I got news for you - under single-payer government system people with the the problems like you described, might never become eligible for liver transplant timely enough.
A hybrid system that combines government healthcare similar to the NHS in Britain along with privatized options for those who choose would work very well. And no, it's nto $25,000 per year. If it was, we would be spending nearly $8 trillion per year on healthcare instead of $2.8 trillion as is projected for this year.
