(8,994 posts)You must think that 20K a year is Mitt Romney level rich or something.
And if we had a Single Payer system it would
a) be likely taken from higher taxes on the rich (as it should be);
b) most certainly be FAR LOWER than $80 a month (given the same level of coverage) because Medicare-for-All is a nationwide insurance pool which means it's more efficient.
I'm not sure where you can make the case where the working poor AREN'T getting stung by these increased costs.
Perhaps you should try living on 20K a year while adding a $80 monthly bill to your budget. How do you like cat food?
BTW the health insurance corporations who benefit for this guaranteed customer pool give their sincere thanks, along with Mitt Romney who first passed this mandatory health insurance law for all citizens in MA and the Heritage Foundation who first proposed the idea. Ummm, exactly at what point did liberals take the baton for this...?
