yep, and unfortunately the overall largest 'leeching' social class is probably the upper middle class, not the very rich--they are the ones who tend to have the 'over-coverage' medical plans that cost a ton in premiums and likely are not saving the policyholder much money vs a leaner plan, but are paid for by their employers since it's tax deductible (making nearly half the cost federally subsidized)

they are also the people most likely to say that healthcare in america is fine right now, because it is fine for them

the rich are much more likely to be paying the full cost of their own plans as business owners, which while still federally subsidized, means they're incentivized to seek the most efficient overall plan and not just take the golden toilet plan they're provided and not think about it

I think you are underestimating how much employers will try to skimp on health plans

That said, under Bernies proposal, my household would have been paying several hundred more in taxes than we currently have taken out of our paychecks for health insurance

It is something id be okay with if it meant health care for everyone, but it definitely wasnt only the super rich who would be paying more
