agreed everyone should pay- and get insurance Cos. pharma etc. capped! We will always be the horse chasing the carrot with them free to charge whatever they want-
it is not about YOU>>> it's about getting richer-- and that is killing us all.
people REFUSE to look at corps.
this capitalism train with no brakes is going to inundate us to where we will never recover- and the brakes have been completely taken off---(regs) what are you expecting people?? really
Investors own corporate stocks, and they're the ones who profit. Who do you think the largest investor is in the US?
well then stop paying for car ins- taxes and tithes at Church -- my prems. are $246 a mo for car ins. full coverage- safe driver - since 16- I'm 64--but not paying for me--- I am paying for every stupid arrogant driver out there-- and to include the thieves- who steal cars-
fair? H no- but can I get out of it NO- so - live with it-
That's not much. Your premium reflects your risk. I'd be good with health insurance working the same way, with no subsidies.
With Trump paying zero taxes, you are trying to school me on regressive taxes? I don't think so.
Trump would have a tax obligation in those countries with regressive tax codes.
How one earns their income, earned vs capital gains matters more in the US.
Your losses regardless of reasons can and do offset what otherwise would be taxable gains in the US.
Some seek/ create capital loss opportunities for the sole purpose of reducing their overall tax obligations in the US.
On the flip side, the US has the EITC which benefits ( some might say encourages) low income people to have more children than they can reasonably afford. Poor people have more children everywhere, regardless of tax or welfare benefits.
If someone is young, healthy and doesn't want to pay for health insurance.... who are you to tell them they have to?
Because those are the same idiots that will get in an auto accident requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of surgery and then can't pay for it cause they have no insurance. Or the illegal who goes to the ER for care because they have no health insurance. Who pays for that care? THE TAXPAYERS!!
Not if they bought a catastrophic policy. If they didn't, that was their CHOICE. Just like smoking, abusing drugs/alcohol, overeating their way to obesity, becoming unfit due to lack of adequate exercise, committing suicide are all CHOICES.
What's with the stupidity of insisting that people don't have to live with and pay for the consequences of their own CHOICES?
So if a young guy rides a motorcycle and has a catastrophic accident but does not have insurance what should we do with that guy? Just let him die in the street because he's too young to be able to pay the bill for his care? Is that really the kind of world you want to live in? There are lots of life choices that endanger a person who normally takes good care of his/her body. Lots of accidents happen, too, that can take away your well-being through no fault of anyone.

Because most civilized people don't want to step over dead bodies when they leave their house.
What happens if young and healthy gets sick or has an accident or becomes a victim of a crime or has an overdose or ...........
Who pays?
I want everyone to have universal healthcare. I want inexpensive medical care available for everyone. But for the love of god, can we stop saving people determined to kill themselves with drugs? Seriously.
