Our plan increased by 30+% this year. Why? The way insurance companies look at narrow groups' utilization to set prices is just wrong.

Too little. Health care is a basic necessity, and government should make affordable coverage available to every American. But the better answer is affordable private coverage and state-led reform, with federal support to close gaps and provide a safety net.

to everyone picking "too much" while the uninsured rate climbs, what would the government stop doing, and what happens to the people who lose coverage when it does?
