If you don't buy it, it won't pay for your healthcare later. Many people will intelligently choose to forgo insurance under those conditions, and they will be wealthier for it to the tune of 10-20%+ more income per year. And a far bigger increase to savings. Then they should create a system where everyone contributes a similar percentage of their income. Preferably, with wealthier people contributing a greater percentage. Instead, we have a system where low income people have a VASTLY higher burden as a percentage of income. Why should someone earning 30k a year vote for a system where they must pay 20% of their after tax income while someone making 100k pays 8% and someone making 500k pays 2%? Well, they voted against it. As well they should. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
