well, I have the privilege of speaking about it since I do PR for a hospital, and know it isnt working. My brother is a surgeon and even the AMA admits the U.S. is in crisis.
For those of you who pay for your own coverage, what do you pay?
When I left CA four years ago I was paying 800/mo to Kaiser. Now I have three kids. IF I come back I would prefer to just get catastrophic coverage and just pay for broken legs and stuff. Any idea what high deductable insurance would cost?
What a hassle. It really does make me think twice about coming back. No offense to people already there. And no, I do not have to come back. I am just considering options.

How do you think it is not working? If you frame your question with specifics I'm sure people will jump in.
But really you know the price of healthcare is really getting out of hand when more and more people are flying overseas to have surgery done because it will cost less than half of having it done at home. So surely one reason why health care is collapsing in the U. S. is because it's trying to price itself out of business.

It depends on your state, age, number of insured, past medical history, etc. I have no previous health issues, my wife has type II diabetes, and we have one child... and we're in our early 30s. A catastrophic plan in TX for 100% coverage after a 5k deductible would run around $220 a month.

if you were paying that much for one person, you had to have been covered thru one of the state's high risk plan, who get not get coverage through regular insurance due to underwriting.
