    The average employer sponsored health insurance plan for a family costs over $25,000 year.

    Premiums increased 7% on average in 2024 and are projected to increase 10% in 2025.

    UnitedHealth – which is admittedly just one health insurance company – posted a net income of nearly $9.5 Billion (with a “B”) in the 9 months ending 9/30/24.

    Private health insurance is a scam.
