I am 23 years old. I pay $515 a month for my health insurance alone. The average 23 year old in the US makes something in the neighborhood of 12-24k a year (I'll find a source for that later). That means that from one quarter to one half of the income would go to health insurance alone. Add on to that food, rent, utilities, etc., you have people who are getting more and more broke. It's wrong, and it pisses me off to no end.
I'm seriously considering starting a full out campaign to start REAL health care reform in this country. I'm doing research into what it takes to start a non-profit program for people, I'm doing research into what it takes to get a free lobyist, etc. If anyone wants to help, PM me.
