Health care costs are skyrocketing in the United States. Every attempt to fix the problem only brings partisanship and more problems. Premiums are set to go up in most states in 2017, and in some places the increases will be as high as 116%.

Whatever happens, it is unlikely to fix the healthcare problem because of the extreme partisanship of those making and passing the laws. Learn more about the healthcare bubble from this infographic!
