Good. I'm sick of picking up the tab for worthless leeches.
You do know that you have always picked up the tab for those who don't have insurance. We all have because someone has to pay for the uninsured. Do you think their bills are magically paid for. Why didn't you complain a long time ago. But now you're complaining that they have insurance and pay for it
Just expand Medicare to include everyone. Simple. Like every other first-world nation.
Taxes will go up, but people and small businesses won't be burdened by insanely high health insurance premiums. It will probably be a net savings, since we'll be cutting out the profiteering middle men. There's no reason that health insurance needs to make a profit.

Actually you are picking up the tab for private health insurance companies administration costs, plus their profit...Things won't change much until you get rid of THOSE leeches.

In those other first-world nations with socialized medicine in order to make it work, besides paying higher taxes, aren't the doctors/nurses/etc. all government employees? I don't see that ever happening here.
Trump promised that his plan would be "better, cheaper, and cover everyone." I fully expect him and Congressional Republicans to live up to that promise. Republicans were elected on this Trump campaign plank, not the Ryan plank to eliminate the pre-existing condition clause and privatize Medicare. If this plan is not better, cheaper, and does not cover more people than Obamacare, then Trump and the Republicans will suffer. They better tread carefully and realize most of America does not share Paul Ryan's Ayn Rand dystopian views.
Well that means you disagree with most of the industrialized free world who have enacted universal health care for all their citizens as a right and not a privilege. We'll get there one day and will happen sooner if the repubs dismantle the ACA.
Your move Donny.
You have the right to healthcare.
You do not have the right to make other people pay for it.

Trump promised the American people that his new healthcare plan would cover everyone regardless of income or pre-existing conditions. We expect him to keep that promise.
