I pay about $600/mo for my family of 4. While I am fortunate enough to be able to pay it, that may not be the rule for most families. Ironically, like most MDs, govt treats the symptoms and not the cause. Tort abuse, massive fraud, illegals not paying their bills, and I’m sure many other reasons. It’s way past time to be responsible adults expecting other adults be responsible; it’s time to crack down on the abuse at all levels.
I guess we’ll have to wait ‘til 2012 to find out if we don’t find out sooner...
