3. "$2800

a month for a bronze plan with a high deductible is a bit excessive, don't you think?"

Do you mean a $2,800 subsidy is too much, or a $2,800 payment is too much? Or are the subsidy and payment both $2,800?

I think that a $2,800 payment ($33,600/year) for a couple with one child making $106,000/year (32% of income) is too much to ask people to pay. Especially in a system where ~20% of all money coming into the system goes to insurance companies who (using who instead of which since companies are people /$) make their money by denying and rationing care. And especially in a system where "health care" organizations like hospitals often take another 20% off the top for administrative expenses.

Of course our system is not a health care system. We have a profit making system which produces as much profit as possible while producing as little health care as possible as a byproduct.
