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.
Actually John, you need to check your numbers. The lower income people, even middle class, contribute a much lower amount of the taxes raised than the rich. The rich always have held the tax burden. I will look for the stats for you.
