US Healthcare Spending

US costs are out of control and for no benefit relative to other nations:

I heard that 11-14% (if I recall correctly) of citizens will have their health care rates increase under the ACA, and I figured I'd fall into that category since I buy my own insurance. I'm willing to spend somewhat more to help ensure everyone is covered...but it looks like my rates will increase 102% just to get the same coverage I had before. Yikes.

Really, single payer is the only way to go.
