I work and pay taxes, i also pay for my own insurance and dont think that i need to pay for every broke person in the US to go to doctors.(especially if they are not legal citizens) taxes may go up dramatically and will only effect people paying them not people that get stuff for free, so i am against it. every person should be able to take care of themselves or have family that help them.
I work and pay an assload of taxes, and have health insurance. And guess what, the taxes we pay did go up, but it is because of the tax bracket. The 95% of american families will not see this happens.
And if you have health insurance and are not in the upper brackets you will not see anything rise.
But if you are. Guess what the money you make is directly affected by the people that work under you that don't make that money.
If they get sick, what happens? You have to find new employees and train them. It is in your benefit to have your people healthy so that they don't call off and get serious preventable illnesses.
And all that aside, you are already paying for them! Your insurance premiums are high because it pays higher prices that the hospitals charge to offset the loses accompanied by people not being able to pay their bills. The taxes we pay go to bankruptcies that occur when people cannot pay those bills.
So in the long run this benefits everyone and will be cheaper and help make the country more productive.
if you think healthcare is expensive now, wait till its free. the only reason they are going after healthcare is because its the only business in the country that is still making money. its marxism 101. you guys bitch all you want but history doesnt lie......unless of course you dont know any. this is the same argument that has been around since....forever. do a little reading about it around the early 1930's. its the same arguments now.
This is not a socialized health care system. It is one insurance plan that will cover the american citizens that are not covered right now. And when people are able to go to the doctor, that means earlier diagnosis and easier surgeries. You really are choosing not to see what this is, and instead leaping to the conclusion that somehow one plan is goign to destroy the free market.
in canada some people with critical illneses and shit like cancerous tumors and like heart problems that need surgery sometimes wait months before they get it and sometimes die also theres huuugEE!!! lines for doctors offices and theres not enouh doctors either and the doctors there dont even try to care for there patients and most of the ones that end up getting surgery die kinda like how englands hospitals kill oof patiens with there doctors "death panell" ..like if u cant breath on ur own they kill u by not feeding u usually and like a bunch of shit thatd take forever to type bros
And in our country they may not get found because people don't have the money to get regular checkups, so instead of finding it early and having to wait a few months, we wait 5 years until we notice something is wrong before we go to the doctor.
So I will take the 5 month wait after a early diagnosis over the 5 year wait to get the diagnosis.
