Their tax probably works out less than your tax and health insurance
Only in America would people rather give up 25% of their paycheck for health insurance and out of pocket medical cost instead of 5% of their paychecks for a government run, single payer system.

If the US Government ran it, it would cost you 25% of your paycheck regardless, for far worse care.

The overwhelming majority of Americans either have their health insurance covered by their employer, have subsidized health care, or government provided health care so that would not be the case for most Americans. For the 20-25% that have to pay the full amount, that might be true.
Per capita healthcare spending in the US is higher than it is in literally every country in the world with government run systems.
Let me know when our lovely federal government runs a budget surplus for at least 5 consecutive years and stops bitching and moaning that it doesn't have enough money or stops weaponizing bureaucracies against people they don't like.

why does it cost $25,000 for a family of four to buy unsubsidized government run Obamacare? That $25K represents 5% of Americans paychecks? you've been sold a bill of goods...lmao

And you'd rather put it in the hands of people who profit off of sick people to the point our nation has $140 billion in medical debt ALONG WITH the highest per capita health care spending of any country on earth. Stop buying the propaganda.
Is Bloomberg advocating for a 20%+ VAT and significantly less progressive income taxes than the US?
