PPO is the most expensive form of insurance you can buy.

Still the cost is a lot but most of it is paid by employers and passed along in the prices of the goods you buy. The alternative would be additional taxation and governmental price control or manipulation.

Healthcare everywhere is just a cluster fuck robbing peter to pay paul -- no one works for free (intentionally, notwithstanding volunteer workers).
well according to kaiser family foundation, the first comparison I found on the net the difference is not 60% but more like 6%....

these are the costs for JUST insurance they are not total costs but you are free to post a link of your own if you can find better data:

HMO/year/2008 was 13.122$
PPO/year/2008 was 13.937$

and I was wrong about the 22K figure its actually closer to 25K$/year thats 6 months per year working to pay off the medical mafia in the USA
