Well...it is and it isn't. Most of the time your employer provides you with insurance and you cover the co-pay...usually between $10-$20 depending on the plan. Same goes for your medication. You only pay out of pocket fully for "cosmetic" procedures like plastic surgery. Sometimes if you have an HMO you'll get screwed harder, but that's pretty much how it works.
And I've actually got a question Wren. If social security becomes privatized and people are allowed to put money into mutual funds and stock portfolios, what happens if those portfolios and mutual funds are mismanaged? Likewise, what would happen if a company pulled an Enron and left investers holding the bag. Don't get me wrong...it's not a bad idea...but you just know some people would get royally screwed.
