It is pretty clear that there is a concentrated effort to get buy-in on private health care.

This is what private health care was like for me, on reason I left the US:

-Monthly health insurance costs doubled each year through my employer, so I actually earned less each year 1/ -It took me over 5 years to pay off essential surgeries, and that was with health insurance (they covered 70%)

-With the above costs, I couldn't afford my 50-dollar-a-monthly asthma inhaler and stopped taking it, seemed a luxury (now likely 100 or more dollars / month) 2/
