I know.. as fun an entertaining as it is.. I can't join you guys in your made up fantasies of involving government tyranny, secession, and / or armed rebellion.

You're still young. I was a naïve idealistic liberal too when I was your age. Give it time.

Yea, anyone that lives under a tyrannical government had a population that thought like you.
My coworker and his wife make together about $100,000, but he still pays the $9,000 / year PPO plan, rather than the cheaper HDHP (he is too anti-Obamacare to consider anything like it). Guess that is folks? A 9% tax for health care in the form of private health insurance.
The payroll tax will be significantly less than 10%, as Medicare is only 1.45% and covers our sickest demographic. It would probably fall somewhere between 4-8% total to cover everyone.
Go read up on Vermont. They plan this for 2017.
They need $2 billion dollars. And they are still counting on Fed money to help them fund it.
They have not calculated losing any Fed money.
They are eying an 8% increase to FICA for employees and 10% increase to employers.
Plus they will also need an additional tax which they are still not sure of.
But the crystal ball needs to look at the future as well.
New jobs today are in the service sector which typically pays less.
When you have decreasing salaries you would need to raise that FICA amount to be able to still afford it.
Lol! The very same conservatives who were always howling "If these deadbeats can afford cell phones and fancy manicures, they can afford health insurance!!" are now complaining.
What an about-face!
Well, it did come from Obama, so now it's something to whine and complain bitterly about....even though they were saying the same thing just a short time ago.
You don't deserve an opinion, go straiten out things in Canada.
Your personal observation is more credible than the actual $$$ amounts?
Got it.
Considering I do not, nor have I ever, pretended to know "actual $$$ amounts"? Yes. Personal observation does hold more weight than numbers that can be skewed and inflated.
Private, not-for profit doesn't make sense. What is their incentive?
Unlike the private sector, the government has to serve the best interests of its people. The private sector has no such obligation.
You have no understanding of free market nor to do understand the role of government as it was laid out buy the founding fathers. Is this what they are teaching you keyboard cowboys in junior high these days?
What part of "based on your income" do you not understand?
You said they were "broke" not me. Don't get upset when you get called on your hyperbole. Either discuss things honestly or not I guess.
