Fixing Health Care: Even the Insured Have a Stake

Think that because you can currently afford private health insurance you don't have to worry about the burgeoning health care crisis in America? Think again - the fact that 85 million Americans go without health care at some point every two years creates higher premiums for everyone else. For the average family, the lack of a universal health care program to prevent massive numbers of uninsured patients costs almost $1,000 a year in additional premiums. In other words, when it comes to health care, we're all in this crisis together.
