A good portion of the other 80% of Americans are lazy parasites, too. The problem is that many people who are not lazy are forced into a life of parasitism, because they are given neither the incentive nor the ability to become self-sufficient.

While no perfect answer exists to most problems, I would suggest that fundamental education reform would go a long way towards solving both the issue of health care affordability and many other inequities in our society. A shift to cooperative methods, rather than competitive, would also be successful in solving many problems, but that sort of paradigm shift doesn't happen easily or quickly.
