I don't live my life in anyone else's shoes other than mine....wtf do I care?

Neither does anyone else even if they won't admit it.

Get another job with better insurance. My company offers that exact same inexpensive (and excellent) plan to the even most basic hourly employees.

This is such a strawman argument. Nobody pays more than they owe to the IRS

Please, tax us to death so we can pay way more!
Your employer pays much more than what you pay. There is no reason for this to change.
