The reality of the cost of health insurance.
The cost of health insurance in the United States climbed nearly twice as fast as wages in the first half of 2007. Kaiser vice-president Gary Claxton said, "In 2007, the increase in health insurance premiums was about twice the rate of inflation and not quite twice the increase in workers' pay."

...and workers pay did not increase twice the rate of inflation...
It's really a sad state in this country, poor health care increases the costs for everyone, people going to the ER without healthcare can't be refused, many have not seen a doctor in, well who knows how long, many other medical problems are found in the ER, many that could have been treated simply and inexpensively if caught sooner, it's just a real mess.
