Sticker Shock! Here's how much Obamacare REALLY costs, per person!

There's more proof the Affordable Care Act is anything but affordable. The national tab for healthcare, per person now exceeds $10,000. It may be because the goal of Obamacare is to fail and push the nation into a socialist, single-payer system.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Healthcare costs are rising fast. The Department of Health and Human Services says the costs are outstripping economic growth. This means the payers, individuals and employers, will feel an ever-greater pinch.

This year alone, health expenditures will hit $3.35 trillion. That's over $10,345 for every man, woman and child in the country.

And if you do not pay these costs, then your employer, or other taxpayers are paying it.

And the forecast for the rest of the decade is for even faster inflation of medical costs.

Medical spending is trading off with other expenses, both in the home and on the national level.

Research also shows that just five percent of the people are using half of the spending. The oldest, most ill people make up that five percent.

All this spending isn't making the U.S. healthier. The U.S. still lags behind other countries in life expectancy, infant mortality and more. This is despite spending more money per person than any other nation on the planet.

Donald Trump has promised to repeal Obamacare while Hillary Clinton has proposed expanding Medicare. The current trend is unsustainable.
