Conclusion

From the Paper:

"At current rates, the United States spends, on average, $6300 per person, per year on health care. This averages out to be more than 30% more than any other democratic nation (all others of which, have universally covered health care systems). The burden of Americans to pay for the health care of their families, in the current state of the nation, requires wither paying into health care insurance - which may be subsidized by their employer, though not always - or paying for all health care out of pocket, prescription drugs included. In 2004, the cost of American health care rose 7.9% - more than three times the rate of inflation. (NCHC) This brought the total annual cost of American health care to 1.9 trillion tax dollars. This amounts to nearly $6300 per person per year in 2004. The cost of health care has consistently increased each year."
