twirlgrrlI keep meaning to do a bit of research and compile it into a serious post on this subject, but I never have time. So I'll keep passing on/saving links that I find interesting in the meantime.
Here is yet another article about the fact that people with health insurance are not protected from financial ruin due to health problems, and the kinds of shenanigans health insurance companies pull on people to increase their bottom line. We are in serious need of health care reform, America.

From the bottom of that post, here is a link to the Frontline documentary about health care systems in other countries:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/
I strongly encourage you to watch that documentary and ask yourself why we in the US are the only industrialized nation without some form of healthcare system like this.
