America's Health Insurance Plans says the average individual annual premiums from 2006 to 2007 cost $2,613, or $218 a month.

 

I think that article prooves my point far better than yours, it even says it in the opening statement:

"steep monthly premiums, higher copayments, outrageous deductibles and fewer benefits. Moreover, the process can be tedious and downright confusing — which helps explain why there are some 50 million Americans under age 65 who went at least six months without coverage"

Also THE VERY NEXT SENTENCE after your cherrypciked number:

"While individual plans may appear cheaper, individuals have to pay the entire premium on their own. And as we mentioned earlier, those in restricted states, and older individuals with health issues, can expect to pay a lot more. "It's not uncommon to hear of people paying $10,000 to $12,000 a year," says Families USA's Stoll."

Selective reading at its best?

 

lol, your funny.

Yes, you could pay $10,000 if you have health issues. But you have health issues, who should pay it?

I have a car that cost a lot more to fix then some people. Should we spread that cost around too?

And thanks for proving that a LOT of people probably pay LESS than the 218 a month, being a lot pay a lot more.

I think you have selective logic.
