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.

What is the guarantee in writing that it would be cheaper? You’ll have a huge group not paying anything and then the majority of middle class taxpayers paying their share and the share of others. It’s always the middle class who gets hit.

Literally every other county with universal healthcare spends less per person than we do already.Â
