Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office has put up an online ticker showing the amount paid by America's businesses and workers to subsidize the uncompensated healthcare costs of the uninsured--a hidden healthcare tax paid directly to the insurance companies.
Under our current system this year, insured Americans will pay $42.7 billion - or $1,354 per second - in this hidden tax.
So if you think health reform will cost you more to cover the uninsured, you're actually paying more now. Click here to see how much Americans have already paid this year.
