It's bad, but it's not all that bad. Most jobs, such as mine, provide health insurance that makes costs at least manageable, if not reasonable. I live a happy and comfortable life, despite the $200 monthly tithe to the CEOs of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. And there is progress being made. The ACA passed under Obama was a very significant step forward, and public perception is shifting in favor of more government involvement in healthcare[1]. As with most things, the problem is money in politics and media. Republicans resist any attempt to slow the accumulation of money into the hands of the ultra-wealthy, and also own the most popular news channels, so they've convinced a significant chunk of the population that making the wealthy wealthier will somehow help them. A good chunk of Democrats are also paid to oppose changes to the current healthcare regime. But there's a growing number of Democrats actively campaigning for single-payer and other sane systems, and support among voters for single-payer is also growing[2]. There's hope. The situation isn't so bad that violence is the answer, yet.
