Do you think Health Care is too expensive or priced fairly?

FAR too expensive. I am self employed and used to provide 'my company' with health insurance. A month after O'Care was signed, I got a rate increase of over 50% (About $5,000 a year with a 200% increase in the deductible.). That's just the increase. I didn't have $15,000 to $16,000 in health care costs every year built into my rate for services and so could no longer afford health care. Fortunately, my wife was able to get a job working for the state and that job provided us with health care. See what happened there? I was losing my health care because the government had raised the rate so extraordinarily, but I could after my wife started working for the state...to me, that's tantamount to 'welfare'. But what else can I do? All other options were deprived me. I have a medical condition, I HAVE to have health insurance. And the government did this to me. And they expected me to thank and support them for doing this to me and my family. Living off the state.

In the US - far too expensive.

Not only because of healthcare insurers, but because of the underlying provider charges.

The amount paid for healthcare goods and services, in the US generally represents a negotiated price between an insurer and provider, and that is usually a lot less than provider charges. Those charges are also reduced for people with a healthcare insurance deductible. Unless you do not have healthcare insurance, than you pay the full amount of the provider charge.

Of course one of the incredibly big positives of the ACA is that it publicized provider charges -

and not that a lot of people realize that.

To prove how few people know this, Carly Fiorina, who was obviously not being very knowledgeable about the ACA, was running partly on a platform of having healthcare provider charges made public.

Over the last five years or so, my healthcare and related expenses have more then doubled and my services have decreased significantly. I have no idea where it is going but it's current course sucks. I was under the impression the ACA was suppose to fix this, but both dem candidates are running on a we can fix it platform. Which their supporters agree with. Yet those same people say the ACA is wonderful and is cutting cost.

Too expensive and overpriced prescriptions.

Too many people ended up having their bills going to the b ill collectors because you can't afford to pay it off and they don't give you much time,or use them for bankruptcy if you had to

do it.

Just look around your area..how many do you see Doctors and Nurses living in fancy homes?

Of course they all had to go to college but do they have to take it out on the ones who didn't or the poor ppl?

Too expensive

too expensive in the USA - without the help of employers, a typical health insurance policy for a family of even just 3 people costs $2000 a month anymore

I'm from the United States, so of course it's WAY too expensive. Our healthcare is the most expensive in the world, and it doesn't need to be.

For a person like me who is just a regular guy...it's out of control expensive.

National Health Service is free in the UK and prescriptions are to here in Scotland

Not now. Obamacare is doing amazing things for lower income families. The Bronze package is extremely affordable and it's high quality healthcare coverage. The American people have spoken, and they want Obamacare, they need Obamacare.
