Average afghan was 42 years. Today, its 62 years. And rising. In 2001, 9 of afghans had access to basic health care. Today, 60 of afghans live within an hour of basic health services. In 2001, there was only one television station and it was owned by the government. Today there are 75 stations. And only two and all of those but two are privately owned. And in 2001, there were virtually no cell phones in the country. Today, there are 18 million covering about 90 of residential areas. 80 of afghan women.

Sometimes a thousand dollars a month. I mean, you know, its a wide range. Some people will get subsidies and support and pay less. But theres this group in the middle who make just enough, they get no subsidy, and the price of their premiums for their plans is going up dramatically. But moreover, and this is just what after 36 meetings in my own district their deductibles, their deductibles, they fear, are at a level where unless you have a Catastrophic Health event in your family, you really dont have Health Insurance because youre paying upwards of 12, 15,000 where it was 2 or 3,000. And so they may go without, because you have a guarantee issue. So you can always go to the emergency room, right . The penalties are not more than the premiums.
