Health Care Spending

When we talk about health care spending exploding, it is easy to decry that as fear-mongering. National Geographic (c/o Daily Dish) has a stunning graph (click on for full size) of the United states health care expenditures.

I must concur with Mr. Sullivan we are getting ripped off, and while I am not happy with the bill that has come out of the Senate. It is better then this. It at least is progress away from what you see above. We are being fleeced.

Those that think the status quo is fine are delusional. Though I do not blame them, if you have never bought insurance individually you have very little clue how much it actually costs you. It is almost single-handedly the reason wages are stagnant.
