I mean plenty of people work and still can't afford medical stuff...

That only works if you force employers to actually give everyone insurance

---

would be reasonable if insurance didn't make you pay up the butt for their premiums and deductibles

You work all your life to make money. Work that stresses you out and causes you a bunch of health problems, and then you waste all the money you made on healthcare to fix said issues.

Man, fuck this shit. White Russians. Join me, baby!

Even people with a good job can get screwed with a big enough health problem, Cancer can be notoriously expensive to fight since we have no actual cure for it. Insurance companies are also known for dropping coverage if one of their customers gets a major health issue.

Which would you rather have:

1) Pay $800/month on healthcare
2)Pay $80/month in taxes for free healthcare

...

Weirdly, most people vote 1

Can someone explain why ssi receipents are told they have to get medicare in which they are forced to give back 10% of their social security plus they have to get a co pay on medical visits which is around $95 a visit and have full price meds unless they pay more for part d which makes the some more common meds like lithium cost 25 dollars but the walmart only wants 4 dollars without

Were as

A woman that has wandering leg syndrome has 5 kids gets free medical care until the youngest turns 18. The only think they pay is $1 for meds.

That's not really free at that point, but yeah, people need to get jobs and pay for their own damn healthcare like adults.

Or just work for companies that have health insurance unless you're already on a spouse's plan.

That's the beauty of government.

Overlooking that the numbers in your hypothetical are wrong, that's assuming a 1:1. Everybody who wants free healthcare either knows or assumes that they'd get more than they pay in. Most people opposed to it understand that their contribution to benefit ratio would likely be 2:1 or 3:1 and that's assuming that the healthcare itself doesn't decrease which it almost certainly would. I've lived in nations with "free" healthcare and I'm very familiar with the lower standard of care.

Unless every company offers health insurance, that's not advice you can give to everyone in the country.

All it takes is one bad accident or a rare condition and even WITH health insurance, you're f*****.

Some treatments can reach $100K per year...and what about preexisting conditions...should people be denied coverage for those? I'd argue that a human body isn't the same as a used Ford pi ckup truck with a faulty fuel pump.
