nothing like charging the doers in society for the mistakes of the do nothings. there are two types of people in the world. the workers and the parasites. the parasites have won this round.

In 20 years we will have tax-funded national health insurance in the general form of Medicaid for all. Mark my words.

hopefully I'll be dead by then. I can't shoulder the burden for the do nothings of society much longer. my insurance is apparently going up 18% to help pay for the people in society that choose to do nothing.

Hopefully, your tax funded Medicare that is paid by others will keep you alive long enough to see the US get universal coverage.

if they contribute nothing and feed of productive citizens, then yes. that's the definition of a parasite. in my entire working life, I have worked 1 minimum wage job, and I got tips at that job. in college, I worked part time at home depot and paid for my own health insurance. it was about $120 a month.

How long ago was that? 20-25 years ago? You do realize health insurance has increased drastically since then?'
