I am saying that if the average american can not afford to pay out of pocket for what the average american requires/receives in health care benefits then the whole system is bound to fail one way or the other.

Healthcare or insurance? Actual treatment or Healthcare has to be paid for by the consumer.
To the OP, I agree with your point. However, I do not believe many people think 20% is a reasonable amount.

Are you talking care or insurance? I can't make it out due to the other mountain of stupidity in your post.

My wife and I work hard and have been successful thus far in life. So we should just pony up 22.5-30K A YEAR for health insurance? You are a fricking idiot.
