Frustration that the U.S. is spending more for worse outcomes—a similar phenomenon exists in K-12 education—is helping to drive the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Bigger government has benefited the health-industrial complex but not Americans.

For a good plan with the ACA, $350 - $600/month? In that ballpark. I had private insurance in 2001, cost? $950.00/month. From what I am reading, $600/month for private ins. today is an absolute bargain, but it's probably shit.
The ACA is much cheaper than most, "public" healthcare plans. Look it up. Also, in 2009, 62% of all bankruptcies in the USA were caused by medical issues.
The article is a bit dated, but it hasn't changed much over the years.

The study people cite for this classifies any bankruptcy with any medical debt as a " medical bankruptcy". So if you owe $2million on a business loan and $100 on an old copay, they pretend the copay caused the bankruptcy.
It was written by a political lobby bucking for single payer healthcare.
I have VA ins so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I had 9 surgeries in two years; a bowel resection that went bad resulting in a loop illiostomy, (that was reversed in 2008), total cost? 1.5 million. The cost of healthcare in the USA is off the charts high.
Republicans have done everything they can to sabotage healthcare since the ACA was passed. And now they have the gall to claim it was a failure all along. Not that is some gaslighting.

This presumes that the political goal wasn't making affluent white people "feel better" about "doing something" about the uninsured.
