Under the UHC schemes - it is possible - likely, they will be assessed MORE THAN THEY PAY NOW. What are they going to do then?
I wonder just how much the proponents of UHC honestly believe they are going to pay in additional taxes to fund the UHC....

Of course we are, but it will still be less than we are paying now.
