Here's a bunch of facts on healthcare.  They give dollar amounts, so all you need is to figure out the population and divide.\n\nhttp://www.nchc.org/facts/cost.shtml

$250Million a day. As of today, the total is around $250Billion, or enough money for a full 4-year scholarship for 250 Million Americans. That amounts to around $845 for each American man, woman, and child.

A typical procedure can cost between $20,000 and $35,000 including hospital fees as well as surgeon and other professional fees.  Some insurance companies do cover the cost.

Well it does depend! (Sorry 'bout that). There are many different doctors in many different fields. Oncology docs make around 100,000 a year and a heart doc makes around one million a year. Family docs make around 70.000 to 80.000.

Public health system: Americans demand the best and most up to date health care - that costs. We also have a LOT of hypochondriacs that drive up the cost of health care, because they order every concievable test. Americans also are less likely to see a primary care physician regularly.\n\nMore importantly, because most people aren't paying out of pocket for health care, the costs actually go up, because no one shops around. That drives up everyone elses cost, and really screws the poor uninsured bastards.\n\nWorse, since many people don't see a doctor regularly, they instead go to the ER when something goes wrong - which drives up costs since prevention is far cheaper than solving the problem once it's gone to hell.\n\nHowever, the claim that there is no public health system is partially false. Life-threatening treatment will be provided. The indigent's treatment is paid for by the state, as are many children (into the lower-middle class). \n\nAlso, America's economy benefits greatly from the lack of a fully funded health system - the hard part is creating a public health system without hobbling the economy (like a large part of Europe).\n\n2.) Katrina's poor response is a good example of how federalism can backfire. In short, New Orleans is a crappy place to deal with an emergency, the local and state governments historically can't take a crap without going to committee (and overcharging the taxpayers), and the Feds assumed the Locals were going to bear the brunt of the planning. Whoops.

You pay $300-400 a month for insurance just to pay another $20 to go to the doctor, instead of just paying $50 to go to the doctor in the first place.  The funny thing is that people actually buy this insurance, when they can put that money away and be better off in the long run.\n\nHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

For all the problems that we have with our health care system, I'd never give it up for the non-existent system that the US has.  40+ million Americans have no coverage whatsoever.  O Canadians have no coverage.

It depends where you work.\n\nExpect somewhere between 200,000 to 400, 000 $ US, per year\n\nWilliam

that is a hard one to answer as medicaid varies in their "quote" area of how much u make/don't make.  Best bet is to call your local medicaid office and ask.

I don't know but I really use my health insurance like crazy. I know those people hate me.  I'm always at the doctor's office.\n\nI think those 20 something year olds are much healthier and don't visit the doctor as much tend to spend more for health insurance and not reap the benes.\n\nBefore I got my insurance, my presecription drugs cost me $400 a month. Now that the insurance pays most of it, I pay about $90.

It depends on where you live and what field you work in. It's usually between 25-56 a year. But that can depend on lots of different factors.

Seriously, the best way is to go with Ameri Plan - you can get medical, dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic care at up to 80 per cent off. And it's only $49.95 per month for an individual and 59.95 for anyone in the household. (Even those unrelated to you!) This is great for small businesses. Please contact me. wlakin@ameriplan.net I'm in the business of helping people tackle the expensive cost of healthcare.

It depends a lot on what state they practice in and what type of doctor they are.  Some doctors clear less than 100,000 per year (before taxes) while only a few may make over 300,000 (before taxes).  Some people think that it is unfair to charge so much but they often do not understand what a doctor had to go through to get where they are, how much it costs to run a medical business and also what they may still owe due to the amount of years schooling.\n\nSome states have very high malpractice insurance. (Can be easily over 100,000 dollars per year!).  The reason that it is high is that the some states have not put a limit on how much a person can sue for.  Doctors must charge enough to ensure that they can pay their insurance.\n\nAlso doctors must pay for four years of college, four years of medical school and often they can't support themselves with the low pay they get during residency (3-6 years).  At minimum, a doctor must put in 11 years of education/practice after high school before they can work on their own (some put in 14 years!).
