As I think you are stating ironically, health insurance is not extremely expensive. If you consider that 6% of CPI expenditures represents a much smaller percentage of total expenditures, and that for those who itemize expenses > 2% of gross income are deductible, health insurance is in reach of anyone who needs it and isnt getting it.

I got to you too quick, but you bring up a good point. I'm having trouble understanding what you are saying because I don't think I'm understanding economics at the same level that you are. However you say that "health insurance is in reach of anyone who needs it and isn't getting it." Why then do people say they can't afford health insurance?
