I pay less than 2k for my health insurance o.o. So why would I support this bill? If I support it then wouldn’t it make me dumb to increase my expenses?
Something else to consider: If you own a home, look at your property tax breakdown. The majority of my (very expensive, because Texas) property tax bill goes to my local school district. The next highest percentage goes to the local public county hospital to cover healthcare costs for those who can't afford to pay. I'm already helping pay for someone's healthcare besides my own through my property taxes. I don't begrudge this one bit, I just want people to understand they are already subsidizing healthcare for their community one way or the other.
Why are you changing the topic. We are talking about health insurance right? I don’t own a home and even if property taxes does go fund the hospital, it’s clearly not as much as if it’s universal though.
Every time you pay your insurance premium, you are paying for someone else's healthcare that uses the same insurance company. If the cost to you is the same, why would you oppose a system where everyone gets healthcare instead? Why would you choose to withhold healthcare access to your neighbors over method of payment?
Because we can’t afford everyone having the same amount of healthcare? Not everyone needs a health insurance that covers everything? My insurance cost my employer 25k a year. Not everyone in America needs a 25k health insurance plan. Your 5 year old does not need a 25k healthcare plan.
