I wish I had the time/energy/resources to quantify the HC cost situation...

All the folks that I know which have a CLEAR/TRUE picture of the FULLY loaded HC costs (before and after OBAMACARE) are telling me terrible horror stories about how much their HC insurance costs have skyrocketed...

A slightly tangential thought on this topic... My niece (Dr. of Psychology) had a super rough time getting out onto her own insurance several years back when OBAMACARE first came into being, she has since married a guy from Ireland and moved to Ireland (you know, where HC is FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE like Canada and other semi socialist countries). Her hubby would really brag on their HC system and the costs, but he never was sick and didn't have any back/pain issues since he is pretty young. HIS SISTER (living in Ireland) on the other hand has bad compression in her back and is nearly immobile due to what would/should be very basic back surgery. She can't get treatment and has literally been waiting two years at this point for basic back HC, which is typically done here on an outpatient basis... TRUE STORY...

P.S. 2 + years later she is doing volunteer work in Ireland to obtain some certification JUST so she can get a paying job... WITH A PHD...
Mine has been up over 45% in the past 3-4 years.
