Joseph Q. Jarvis: With very few exceptions, every American family is health insecure.

In this Nov. 28, 2016, photo, a screen displays a patient's vital signs during open heart surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.According to a study recently conducted by the newly announced health reform groupHealth care spending in Utah is growing fast, doubling every decade, a rate faster than that of all but one other state. The Utah Foundation has for years consistently found that Utahns rate health care costs at the top of their list of concerns.

My own recent health care experience helps to illustrate why Americans are increasingly priced out of needed care. A few months ago, I began to have right-sided pain that reminded me of how it felt when I passed a kidney stone about a decade ago. I notified my urologist, who arranged for me to have a CT scan.

I was scheduled for same-day surgery at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center. The 90-minute surgery went well, and I was released to go home after about four hours in the recovery room. I removed my own surgical drain a few days later. I have enjoyed a satisfactory return to health and no longer have the pain and other discomfort associated with the cyst.

Lest anyone consider my experience to be an isolated case, a friend recently told me about his own uncomplicated hospitalization for which the hospital received more than $55,000 from Medicare.
