Yeah. 21T is what will probably be spent on HC in the next
So, would I want to spend 250 a month on insurance that I'll have to change each time I get a new job or 350 a month on taxes that goes with me and which I only pay when I'm not laid off? I mean, it's a good question. Right now, I'd be ok with expanding Obamacare to what it was when it was originally proposed or how Pelosi passed it. I get it. Too many people are dependent on the status quo to immediately nationalize a sixth of the economy. That girl I almost married almost voted for Romney over Obamacare because she was into hospital revenue.
Cute. You really have no idea how expensive insurance is without subsidies from the tax system or employers or directly from the government, especially when you get old. Here's a hint. IT"S DAMN EXPENSIVE!!!! I'm a 50-55 year old non-smoker who gets his insurance from the Marketplace. Pre-subsidy it's around $900/month. Thankfully, the subsidy cuts that down considerably, but it's still a pain.
You aren’t paying anywhere near $900 and in a single payer system you’d still probably pay less than you do now. Healthy wealthy Ralphy might pay quite a bit more...but that’s a feature, not a flaw.
Angry_weasel knows what he’s talking about. You’re just marveling at big trees with no concept of the forest you’re lost in.
