Thought I would remind people here of this simple, but mostly unknown fact about American healthcare:

American taxpayers invest more public dollars per capita in healthcare than anyone in the world. This before a single cent is paid into the private insurance system. Through Medicare, Medicaid, VA and other public health programs, you pay about 40% more public dollars per-capita than the most socialist, gold plated single payer system anywhere else.

You are not only getting ripped off by your insurer, but you are getting ripped off a public system, which has more than enough money to provide every man, woman and child with a lifetime of world-class, free at the point of service universal healthcare.
