Universal healthcare is more efficient than out current system but a significant portion of the country would rather pay premiums than taxes even if it costs them more.

I've given up trying to understand how somw peoples' minds work.


Through my employer, my insurance is about as good as you can get, and I pay less than $100 per month.

What is my incentive to likely pay much more in taxes for "free healthcare" and mostly have access to doctors I'm told I can have access to? And then be put on a waiting list for a surgery or procedure?

Your incentive is that you can demand your employer pay you a better wage because theyll no longer be subsidizing your healthcare and youll be more able to switch companies because your health is no longer linked to your current employer.

This is a good post for a change. Not to mention that older people won't need to hold on to jobs for the insurance, freeing up those jobs for other people.

How did you determine this, and does it account for the people who would quit their jobs without the threat of homelessness?


no, because that group of people doesn't exist

I decided not to waste my time making concessions for awful passive aggressive CEmen who will never return the favor. Why should I be the only one extending a token of good faith when no one else will? Back to my ignore list you go.

...making concessions? You agreed with a point I made so you posted that you agreed with my point. Theres nothing to concede there, we just agree.

And you clearly dont have me ignored considering how often you respond to me just to post back to my ignore list at the end.

Oh well.

I mean... you really should know the left's true nature by now. I have no faith in any sliver of good nature in them. The only people like that are now either republicans or libertarians.

I mean they empirically don't exist, did you expect the group you were curious about controlling for to be statistically insignificant? That's... Curious
