Once people stop being able to afford health insurance and insurance company revenues drastically decline, they’re going to run to the government for a bailout. And since our government is all about life support for dinosaurs, it’ll sadly happen. It’s coming soon:

The average family makes $60,000 today and health insurance costs on average $15,300. Insurance has gone up nearly 100% in the past 8 years. In 10 years, the average family will make $80,000 and health insurance will cost $33,000 (assuming health insurance rises at the same rate). This is 41% of your pre-tax income!
