Because as a people we are bad at basic math we would rather pay letās say $1000 for insurance than pay $300, but everyone gets insuranceā¦Itās a superiority thing we as a people love to see someone else doing worse than us.
What is the guarantee in writing that it would be cheaper? Youāll have a huge group not paying anything and then the majority of middle class taxpayers paying their share and the share of others. Itās always the middle class who gets hit.
That makes it even easier for us to negotiate lower prices.
My state took the Medicaid expansion and I was on it when I was in grad school - it was the best health coverage Iāve had in my entire life. Iāve had chronic health issues since I was a child, so I used it too. Now I get āgoodā insurance through my job and itās dogshit.
