(15,245 posts)Yes, my employer CAN pay me directly, but the question would be "WILL" he be willing to do that in any fashion since HIS taxes will increase even more than mine will under Bernie's plan. The answer is no, he will not.
Bernie implies that he's going after the 1%'ers. But I'm far from that - way, way, way, WAY down from that. Bernie's plan is punitive to ordinary Americans who live paycheck to paycheck just like I do.
As I said before, I am in favor of everyone having health care coverage. I want everyone to be taken care of. But as with all things, providing that must be PAID FOR in some manner. I don't doubt that single payer is, in the end, cheaper for everyone. But it's still all about GETTING THERE without bankrupting those of us who are barely hanging on as it is.
I am very familiar with COBRA and the fact that it's horribly expensive.
May I ask how much YOUR taxes would increase under Bernie's plan?
