If this proposal costs less. Then we could essentially just take your employer/employee premium, give it to this new system instead and there you go with no increase.
And again, you are already paying for others. Your costs today help cover those folks that show up at an ER and can't pay.
but see, these plans take the cost OFF the employer, and put it directly on the employee(taxpayer)…..
for example currently you pay 500 a month...your 500/month is 25% of the actual premium..your employer is paying 1500/month for you
under a UHC/SP the ENTIRE cost is on the individual taxpayer, no more employer contribution
everyone deserves... just open up the yellow pages and find a doctors
its your health...its your body...its the SERVICE YOU receive..and its your bill..... NO-ONE should have to pay YOUR bill for you... have some pride man
So that reverts to cancer being a death sentence for everyone but multi-millionaires, which it will bankrupt in a short amount of time.
Some sort of pooling mechanism is the only way to achieve the increased life spans we have now.
Why not have a buy-in for Universal Health Care? Agree to be taxed at 45% federal income tax rate on all of one's income, and get Universal Health Care. No income = no buy-in.

Right, I mentioned that.
But your employer also pays a significant portion of your income tax that you never see to begin with. It's a shell game. Would just become the employer paid health tax contribution. Or ideally, just redirected to our pay.

So hypothetically here.... An item costs X but the price is lowered by 10%. But... I've paid an annual dues of 30% to join the club. If I use the club enough in my purchases it might be a fiscally sound decision to have purchased that membership. If I don't use the club enough to justify the membership I'm screwed. Sounds like what you want is Costco Health Insurance to me....... I don't want to join the club.
Right, they cannot imagine anyone would vote for the benefit of society.
A lot of rich people in MA voted for health care in their state. Maybe they don't want disease outbreaks in their cities.
