I'm on Medicare. Before that (when I was working), I had health insurance through my employer (though in the last ten years or so, the agreement employees had to contribute a monthly amount to their healthcare policies, when I left it was around $167 but I'm sure it's much higher now).

But when I read about the amounts individuals and families have to pay on their own for health insurances premiums now, I can't believe it. Where do they get the money?

It is scary. I have no idea how people are affording it, even on employer provided health insurance. The people with kids or a spouse have to be struggling. But what the hell is agood answer?

I'm fighting  until  Medicare kicks in...and hope I can afford a supplement.

Answer:

Remove any and all barriers to Insurance Companies doing business across State Lines.
Since O'care decimated the Insurance Companies we need more investors to re-people that Insurance mkt.

Encourage Start Up Insurance Cos. w tax incentives, etc, BUT:

Enforce Anti Trust against their merging back into the beasts who caused their own demise.

As for govt Medicine/O'care/RINOcare look at the VA.

Govt can't do it right, ever.

Stake the beast like the vampire it is.

Gotta turn it back over to the private sector.
