Video: Health Care by the Numbers
Can we afford health care reform? With over 46 million Americans uninsured, we can’t afford not to. In the past decade, Insurance premiums paid by Americans have increased by 131%. In 2004, 18% of insured Americans had medical bill problems. That’s up from 14% in 2001. This year on average a family of four spent $17,000 on health care. That’s 19% of the family’s total income. In 2019, that figure is expected to climb to $39,000 per year, which is 31% of the average family income. Watch this video for more information.
