    But it's a big business that is giving everyone this tab. You would think all of America, not just half, would be tired of whats happening.

    No blame for Doctors / Hospitals that over charge?
    What about the insured who do not live a healthy
    lifestyle? All serve to drive up costs.

    I think this drives your insurance costs more than anything.

    If you ask people what they want, they will inevitably answer with something that is not realistic. If you ask Canadians if they want the American system, it is damn close to universal they'd keep their system.

    But for libertarians with no heart, letting people die is the sick and their family's problem because it takes away their dream of living in a pre-Hobbesian fantasy world.

    75 bucks a week (give or take a few dimes, I forget) for my family of me and my wife. We are having a kid soon and the price doesn't change, no matter how many kids we have (which for the record, will stay at 1).
