The overriding point of my post is that if you move past the wait times and general statistics that people here will twist to whatever point they want to prove, here is a real example from the past 6 years of what I've paid and my experience with the health care industry in the US. Health care services in America are high-quality, they are on the high-side of affordable for a wide majority of Americans, costs overall need genuine reform, and the figures of 2 year lower life expectancy than the top nation or somewhat higher infant mortality does not mean that health services are not excellent and that all Americans are suffering under the repressive weight of this overly burdensome healthcare system. Cost reforms vs. overall system reform.

You're funny. You're equating a business that is paying the majority of your premium (note, my employer pays my entire premium) and saying that it is affordable when you either don't have a clue how much your insurance actually costs or are purposely hiding it because it would deflate your entire argument in an instant.
If as large of a percentage of the country as you purport had employer sponsored coverage that's as good as yours is there wouldn't even be a debate.
