Put together by the folks at research biggie RAND Corporation, it "provides a graphical look at how accelerating health care costs have gobbled up the income gains made by American families over the past decade."
There's no question that the cost of health care, both its delivery and the financing thereof, has become an ever-increasing burden on the consumer. Although it's not the primary cause of the problem, ObamneyCare© has certainly exacerbated it, by decreasing consumers' "skin in the game" and choices, and increasing the cost of both health care (scarcity) and health insurance.
Americans are not stupid: they can see the disconnect every time they look at their pay stub or pay their insurance bill, or write a check at the doctor's office. Would that Washington actually understood this.
And couple that with this little tidbit:
"Just 1% of Americans accounted for 22% of health care costs in 2009"
Make of that what you will...
