LunarOrbit Depends on the state, but I’ve seen quotes of $9615 annually for young adults, up $25,000 for seniors per person. And btw, this is with coverage, so it depends on the plan now.
I personally have paid $5,000 in a year because of the $2500 deductible that I had to exhaust first on one plan. I saw a bill for a hospital stay that was necessary to save my life in 2008; it was $350,000 but with healthcare coverage I only paid $2,000. People without coverage go to the Emergency Room, they are often turned away or sent to hospitals that serve the indigent.
A National healthcare service would save so many lives here, but some people dismiss it as "socialist". Even the ACA, which allowed many people in my state to afford healthcare coverage for the first time, was disabled because the subsequent administration disliked the president who had signed it into being more than they cared about the health of the American people.
Your system may not work perfectly but you’re the first Canadian I’ve seen who dislikes it. Here, "your money or your life" is real.
