might have to work all the way to 65 just because of insurance.
I know quite a few people doing just that. It's horrible for a lot of reasons, primarily because it's fricking up my promotion opportunities.

I just can't believe we've allowed it to continue like this. Simply being able to buy health insurance across state lines in a competitive market would be an easy first step to reducing prices.

If our government has even the slightest competence, national health care would be better than our current insurance system.
If more time was spent on what it costs (instead of who pays for it) the people of this country would be better. But, make no mistakes about it, healthcare utilization is an ENORMOUS business that feeds and funnels people into big pharma.
The single greatest thing people can do to impact their healthcare cost in the US is live a healthy lifestyle because not only is the system expensive, it gives horrible results.

Right, but the people who would normally be able to retire in their late 50's can't because of the damn insurance.
My old boss did the COBRA thing and I think he was paying like $2,400 a month.
I have a friend, family of 5, with no work-offered insurance and his obamacare premium is almost $1,800 a month.

All I know is that when I was a kid, every job my dad had had excellent insurance. Check-up? $20. Broken arm? $20. Child birth? $20.
So whatever was going on in the 90's, go back to that. I honestly don't give a flying frick if people who don't work can't use the emergency room for a cough.
Nothing pisses me off like going to the ER for a legitimate emergency, knowing I'm the only SOB in there who's going to be paying out the arse for showing up, and having to wait forever because a bunch of fricking trash is there because it's free.

Single payer would be better and cheaper but we fight to make sure insurance companies have record profits. If other countries can provide better coverage for less $ I can’t figure out why we can’t.

We had a BC/BS policy pre-Obamacare. It cost us $400/month with a $1000 deductible for a family of four. Post Obamacare, the same policy went to $2000/month. I had to leave the family business to get a corp job with benefits.

pretty sure that's when the trend began(late 80s at my company,) of employers trying to shift the cost of medical coverage to employees

Because the US is acting as their personal bodyguard and it frees up their capital for stuff like this. Nobody is getting better care than us for less money. Someone is paying for it, primarily us. We're funding their national defense, funding the drug and treatment development, funding everything. The half of this country who pays taxes and Healthcare costs is massively subsidizing the rest of the world.

The entire purpose of Odumbf*ckCare was to take those people who were doing the right thing and paying for their their own insurance for themselves and their families and force them to pay for insurance for a bunch of lazy fricking Odumbf*ck voters. That was it. Socialized medicine in through the back door.. The so-called "architect" of Odumbf*ckCare even admitted it when he didn’t think anyone was taping him.
When the working class is so scared to go to the emergency room/Hospital because of what they will have to pay out of pocket compared to the lazy butts that go for free if they have a cough. I understand Older Americans but when you got a large chunk of the country doing nothing and basically getting free health care there is something wrong here.
