I'm all for paying higher taxes for a Medicare for all system.
Until those actual taxes started to hit your wallet. Then you'd be screaming like teething baby with a soiled diaper.
Just to give you and other dummies an idea....
Half, or more, of your salary goes away right off the top
Gas goes up like 400-800 percent
All goods, food included go up like 300 percent.
This is all due to the various taxes that it would cost for your free healthcare. Think I'm full of shit? Look at the taxes in Europe.
There is no free lunch dummie. The reason health insurance is thru the roof is BECAUSE of government run insurance... namely medicaid and medicare. Hospitals, etc have to at least break even. If they can't they can do one of three things:
1. Charge more
2. Cut costs
3. Go out of business
Simple as that. The piper will be paid, and paid in full or the piper will no longer be in business.
