There's been so much debate here and on other forums about Universal
US health care (pro and con) that one gets curious about how much it
NOW costs, say, the average US family, to have 'Health Insurance'.

We guess that the cost is either fully paid by the subscriber?
Or in other cases, partly by the subscriber and partly by their
employer?
Then there are others, we gather who have no health insurance at all?
And we understand there is something called Medicaid?

Insurance cost numbers a) As little as 'a few hundred' b) Over
$12,000, per year have been mentioned?.

But what is a 'typical' (or average) USA cost?
Hi,
Where I am up here in Alberta Canuck land, we don't pay anything. No
premium payment. Our system is not perfect but everyone is taken care of.
I understand U.S. spends more than us per capita on health care.
And many are left out? That is something I don't understand.
To me health care is service for the public, not profit generating
business.

Yea it's pretty easy to cut defense spending to the point you Canucks can
only put 3 navy ships to sea and the military is so small it is irrelevant
for your socialists programs when you live next to the police station (US of
A) and rely TOTALLY on it for protection...Pathatic if you ask me....What
was the last major medical breakthrough in a socialist healthcare country ,
besides the abortion pill ??? How many in the USA ??? Like the military you
rely on US to do it for you..then copy the procedure , pills ect. and ration
it out...Like the Pig Flue , it will be the USA that beats it... Not Cuba or
Canada..... Nuff said...
