Sure there are many people that work as hard as me and don't have health care. But more times there are people who do not work as hard as me that do not have health care.
I could have choose a different route and may not have health care. Instead I chose to do what I have done and have earned it myself.
I think Heathcare should be made more affordable so that more people can afford it. However, I do not think we as a nation should be giving it out for free and making the people who are already wrking hard for their healthcare pay for everyone else's healthcare as well.
Well if it was national healthcare why not just drop your current and go to the national plan
sure would save you some money that way.
Aside from that....so you are saying that because you can afford your own healthcare and pay your taxes that everyone should be able to do the same? Last I checked the breaking point for not paying taxes was some ridiculously low number that no one could survive on.
Now with that being said it would come to reason that their taxes are just as much paying for their health care as your taxes are. In fact the lower tax line population is probably paying for more of it than the higher income tax population just because of sheer numbers.
