mine costs me $270 a month and that's just for basic. No kids, no medical problems, nothing. I think that's outrageous. I pay it, but I'm sure a lot of people can't afford that.

Ja! I had to hunt for better coverage for lower expense. I found them. At least 50% less than you're paying.
Yet I have a friend, a former supervisor that is a retired miltary combat expert at that, and he, his wife and two kids comes to OVER $4,500 per month!!!
Lucky they both work or they'd be DOOMED.
Sure it's malpractice, education, fraud that punches the prices up but again it's an issue of mismanagement on both sides of the fence. The articles state that the jump was due to more unemployment.
Bottom line is that 40+ million without insurance means that the rest of us pick up the tab in taxes and higher rates. It's a dwindling spiral and has to be handled asap.
