"Group insurance is cheaper than buying policies on your own."

Why can't we have this giant group, and call them Americans?

"
Most importantly, you have to remember that almost everyone in the country who wants it has health insurance. Over 90%."

This figure is bullshit. Link please.

OK. So you are just fine with group health insurance. Excellent. We're making progress. Then what is wrong with the gov't negotiating with group health insurers on behalf of folks like you, just like my company negotiates on behalf of me. If you and others like you were for it, you'd be paying $3K for your insurance instead of $15K. Seems to me like you are being obstinate to your own detriment.
