I've had my personal dealings with the American health care system this year. Too long to go into here. It sucks.
And let us not forget stories of people who find themselves with chronic conditions, are lucky enough to have insurance through their employer, but when the insurance company jacks the premium on the employer, the patient finds themself unemployed. This happens at a couple of employers in a row and soon the person is not only uninsurable, they're unemployable. I've seen it happen.
