Fun with math.

This says my disposable income would be about $600 lower. This is because of my significantly below average healthcare costs (I'm essentially just paying insurance premiums and my premiums are very low). If I double my healthcare spending (which still puts it below the calculator's average), I come out nearly $600 ahead

$600/yr is absolutely worth it from me (especially when so many people would see their effective incomes go up under this plan). And if literally anything happens to me, I come out ahead financially, compared to the current system.

That's to say nothing of my parents, who would be financially significantly better off according to this calculator. I'm basically in the worst possible position for Bernie's tax/M4A plan as a decently-earning single guy with no real health issues or expenses, and the financial loss I would've taken this year (the aforementioned $600) is absolutely nothing by comparison to the gains that society as a whole makes (not even factoring in the individual gains which are going to be heavily concentrated into the hands of those worse off than I am)
