Average US family health insurance premium: 2000: $6k 2002: $8k 2004: $10k 2006: $11k 2008: $13k 2010: $14k 2012: $16k 2014: $17k 2016: $18k 2018: $20k 2020: $21k 2022: $22k That is a 266% increase since 2000. For-profit health insurance is a SCAM. #NationalizeHealthCareNow

@ProudSocialist Uuuh, the government is the REASON costs keep going up. But you want MORE government control??
@ProudSocialist @JimMasonAUO Inflation hasn't helped
@ProudSocialist THE INVESTORS IN CONGRESS "MILLIONAIRES" CALL THIS AFFORDABLE @TheDemocrats @GOP
@ProudSocialist On the road to nationalized healthcare, politicians have created a system of rules and regulations that make healthcare unaffordable.
@ProudSocialist Also this illustrates that the Affordable Care Act had zero effect on affordability.
@ProudSocialist Without having universal health care with no insurance as an option, then my best health insurance is not having health insurance. Paying such high premiums would be very bad for my health.
The astronomical growth is due to Federal Government interference in the system which continues to grow. Direct impact is easiest to see looking at deductibles after ACA was passed. Deductibles went from 500/yr to 2500/yr almost overnight. Health insurance prior to ACA was always seen as an option. People who wanted better insurance would consider that in salary/wage considerations. Some people wanted more cash to save for a house or invest in a business so didn’t take insurance. When risk calculations are removed from the people, the government and big business will always win.
