Why is health insurance too expensive to afford?

One of the chief reasons for the high cost of health insurance in the United States is the large number of law suits that are filed against hospitals, doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and medical equipment and supply companies every year. These law suits result in many punitive awards and out-of-court settlements. That money has to come from somewhere, and though much of it comes from insurance premiums, the money to pay those premiums comes from the fees these providers charge us for their goods and services.

Another reason for the high cost of health insurance is that Americans live longer than they used to, and the older we get, the more infirm and prone to serious illness we become. Hence, treating our illnesses and injuries becomes more expensive. But we also have introduced many chemicals and bad habits into our lives and society that we should not have. We have reaped the harvest of stupidity as we now suffer cancers and other major illnesses because of the pollutants and toxins we have thrust into our food and everything around us.
