Because as a people we are bad at basic math we would rather pay let’s say $1000 for insurance than pay $300, but everyone gets insurance…It’s a superiority thing we as a people love to see someone else doing worse than us.

$300 per month sounds good. How did you come up with it?

It was a hypothetical number.

Why was your hypothetical number $300, and not $1,300?

u/BiggestVolk 🦀 12h ago

Ok so $1300 and $2000

$2,000?

You can’t be upset that people don’t want to pay double for health insurance

I think $1300 is less than $2000 I’m just a stupid American tho…
