COVID-19 made this much worse, but the current system is too complicated. It took me years to learn how to navigate it and it's probably going to change dramatically again very soon.

Most ACA plans are a ripoff if you're not getting a subsidy. Who can save $9,000 in a year for a deductible while paying $1,000 a month in premiums? Nobody I know.

It's well-known that hospitals jack up their prices. It's a crooked system. Good luck fixing that with a magic wand from Washington.

But- it seems to me that the underlying problem is the epidemic of chronic illness. Chronic illness is crippling this country. We're spending so much because we're actually all sick.

I'd like to know, what's making us sick?
