Of the 310 million Americans, 270 million of us have health insurance coverage to protect us in case we need it. Anyone who thinks the system is stealing our money is either stupid or has their heads up their you-know-whats. My health insurance has paid more in health care costs for me so far in my life than I've ever paid into it or ever will. Heck, my total knee replacement surgery and the physical therapy alone costs more than I've ever paid in premiums over the 40+ years I've been paying premiums And I didn't have any medical bills to pay which weren't covered by my insurance. That doesn't even include my back surgery and about 5 or 6 other minor surgeries I've had, doctor's visits, tests and prescriptions.
