Should Every Health Insurance Buyer Pay More To Keep Benefits Rich For All?

Why it so readily accepted that we, the working class, must bear the brunt of healthcare costs and not scrutinize government for not allocating our tax dollars in equal measure, taking responsibility to make the processes efficient and affordable for all at any age or at any stage of disease (including perhaps regulating rising costs of drugs), as well as unquestionably have to give up our few pleasures in life or breaking our little banks?

Maybe we all are going to die sooner than we have to.

The reality though is that the vast majority of major medical costs are incurred later in life, particularly as medicine gets more advanced and are able to keep the elderly living longer. This is why Obamacare wanted to get so many young people on the insurance roles as the young are not nearly as likely to need coverage. The young basically subsidize the old.

It is part of the cycle of life.

The old care for the young, a lot longer now a days from in the past, then the young care for the old.

The areas that concern me is quality of life over quantity, and the use of health care services as a commodity.
