Whoa
Now every group in America except poor people and maybe the communists are trying to get out of paying for this and somehow you are still in love with it. Get a clue
Err. "every"? Communist? Me?
I have a ridiculously high paying job in the center wall street. Finally. I also have a tax and interest and fine burden that will consume more than 65% of my pay for the next 10 years, making my "real" take home enough to live, but not live WELL. I'll go out to dinner and a show once every other month now as a target, but other than that, no extravagance. My wife packs my lunch, and I don't have "spending" money.
I will have health insurance for the 1st time in 5 years in about 2 weeks, and I will pay out of pocket a LOT for it. It'll be worth it. The company kicks in about $3,000 per year, my side is around $900 a month, and it doesn't kick in until I pay at least $1,000 deductible, and then it's 80/20, and I better be able to pay the 20.
A chunk of my taxes will now go to supporting some type of universal health care for those that do not have it. People who have been priced out of the "market". People with previous conditions that simply couldn't get it. People like I was. It'll be worth it.
