consider the 3 billion people on this planet who live on the equivalent of $1 a day or less, without health care, without land.  This is just by way of answering your question "Can it continue like this?"  It can.  To quote an old blues song, "Things could be worse, or they could go on bein' just the same."

My own Blue Cross health insurance premium, just for myself, has been running $542 / month, just over tripled in 5 years (a real kick in the checkbook when I turned 60).  (I'm lucky enough now that my domestic partner has a policy at work that she can include me on, so I'll be able to drop the premiums to around $170 a month to compensate for her premium increase).

I sympathize with your plight, and I don't want to seem unsympathetic.  The reality is, if the corporations maintain their stranglehold on government in this country (and extend it in Europe) we will all suffer this and they'll double up again in another three years.  It's a fight, and they have the guns on their side.
