How can we expect this to be any different? Take the post office for instance, the price of stamps and postages continue to rise, yet there only 2 people working the counter everytime you go. If it was a private sector entity it would've failed along time ago (without tax payer funds) in competiting w/ the the likes of ups, fedex... Happy friday.

You aren't required to pay in.... if you choose not to have any insurance at all, you don't get a rebate... ie you pay in through taxes, could be a sales tax.. and they want to give you a refund if you opt-in for the insurance plan - otherwise it's like a fine and you don't get your money back.
The post office, Medicare, highways, railways, etc run perfectly fine. Without the post office, business across the country would fail - UPS and Fedex do not send mail. UPS and Fedex are under the same federal rules as the post office because it's your packages.
