Sooner or later, we will have to deal with the 'cost-of-goods' part of the equation.

Per. Year. And my premiums go up around 10-15%/yr. And my coverage gets reduced every year. And I can't get any other coverage due to a pre-existing condition of a family member. And it looks like even the Democrats in DC are on the take by the Insurance Co's. So, yes, I agree that we must all take personal responsibility to be healthy but I also buy a car for these guys every year and for that I expect impeccable and transparent service. Instead I get headaches and the runaround. They have stacked the deck for years and now I expect the Feds to step in and rein in the cost of premiums, at the very least. Whether it's creating competition with a public option or a cap, I care not. The private insurance industry is a scam of Mafia proportions and deserve whatever legislation is levied onto them. They should all rot from the inside out. I do all of those virtues you listed and still pay $16,000/yr for health insurance.

And I can’t get any other coverage due to a pre-existing condition of a family member.
