    Mine costs my employer and myself $15,000 yearly. Colorado marketplace insurance for a “silver” plan (probably very expensive to actually use) is over $8k.

    If we all just pooled that money it’d make Medicare for All a reality.

        • That would be nice, but I can’t see lobbyist allowing it. It state power really essential?

          Maybe s co-operative insurance company could fit inside the current framework without legislative change.

          (Obviously, I’m just spitballing here)

            Yeah, it could fit in the current framework so I guess state power isn’t essential for creating it. State power is definitely essential to do things like negotiate drug pricing like Medicare does. We saw the power of that recently.
