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.

If it works for you, keep doing it.

In the United States, we don't want to die early from heart failure or
cancer and we don't want to wait eleven months for an abortion.

USA gubmint won't pay for an abortion at any time, 11 months or sooner.

Meanwhile, I know quire a few people in Canada, and none of them
consider it advantageous in terms of healthcare, even for heart disease or
cancer, to move south of their border. I even heard them telling me so.
