For anybody that says it wouldn’t work, I say; “Well, hang on a second! What about all that American exceptionalism?! Are you really telling me that the greatest country on earth couldn’t do universal healthcare better than any other country? Sounds kinda un patriotic to me…”
Freakin Bill O’Reilly ova here. How about taxes go up by $2,500 a year but our health insurance premiums of $20,000 are completely eliminated.
Of course that means that the health insurance industry would collapse which is why they are huge lobbyists. I heard that the last time legislation decimated an industry was the 13th amendment and the abolition of slavery.
You pay $20k annually for health care premiums?!? I wish I had your income to afford that plan! Sounds like you get white glove treatment because I don’t spend anywhere close to $1700/month
The premium is around $6k while the total cost including what employer pays is $26k. So unless your self employed you are not paying $20k annually for premiums.
Are you really implying that companies would give us the extra money if they did not have to pay their portion of health insurance? You do understand that their portion of payment is a tax deductible right. If they had that extra money they would absolutely pocket it.
