Why do Americans complain about the high cost of health insurance?

They are the ones who don't exercise, they eat a
lot of junk food, and over 70% are fat. Tell me why a nation with a lot of
resources would complain about the high cost of health care, when they can just
do simple things, like eating an apple, or drinking water and running, to stay
healthy. I bet if the majority were healthy, we wouldn't even worry about the
cost of health insurance. In Economics, when the demand of a product is high,
(such as health insurance) the producer can increase prices as long as the
demand won't go down (health insurance's demand probably won't go down because
of more and more unhealthy Americans). You see that, that's why the price is
going up. I just wanna hear a few suggestions from you guys. This nation is
really messing itself up.
well smart one, u get a lot of people in different countries who are fat and
dont eat right and what not so dont put all the blame on america when so much of
the US population is made up of what hmmm lemme think -IMMIGRANTS!- oh and they
get all the good deals too by the way so they mess it up for the rest of us
decent honest hard working people and for everybody it is a hassle to have to
worry about health insurance unless you are so rich that you can afford to get
fat and not worry about health insurance because you know you have all of that
backed up by your money oh and another thing MOST of us do try to eat healthy
but its not always that easy considering all the things we have to pay for in
order to have a house a car medical insurance dental insurance on top of all of
the taxes we pay going out of our paychecks and what not so we run to mcdonalds
for dinner for example u know what i mean so think about that before u start
thinkin ur some know it all u sound ignorant
Because it's not only obese, lazy, and uncaring people who have health care
problems. I have a variety of health problems (both physical and psychiatric)
and my family can barely afford it. My insurance doesn't cover therapy or my
psychiatrist. They don't cover numerous ER visits (btw one which was over 4,000
USD for a freaking MRI alone).
I am a teenage american and I am at a healthy weight. Just the other day I
needed to go get an updated physical and I have health insurance, but they
denied me it for the checkup! It cost nearly 400 dollars! Now THAT is just
rediculous! It's all messed up.
Everything is wayyyyy overpriced.....I had to go to the E.R. for something, that
is not because of weight problems, and jut 1 does of tylenol was like $50
bucks......and it was tylenol!!!!!!!!!
Well, go Canadian! I live in Canada and I am really glad. Everything is paid by
taxes, so health care is pretty much free. And our taxes aren't that high.
Like...15% I think.
i don't know but if you want good health insurance go to canada
What is really messed up is when we are paying outrages price for health
insurance and they only pay a VERY small percent of what needs done.
My daughter HAD to have mouth surgery when she was 3, there wasn't anything that
we could have done different to prevent it from happening to her.
The cost was over $10,000, our messed up insurance paid a whole $1,500! The
remaining amount had to be paid up-front before they would do it.
How is that fair? Why make little children suffer. It is out of their control if
their parents can't come up with that kind of money.

It is just absurd the way the goverment works.
