They pay taxes to get that free insurance. We all pay, but its to corporate insurance companies. Even medicare folks have medicare premiums taken out of their SS checks and you still need to pay for other supplemental pla s to keep out of pocket to a min.

The US spends twice as much per person on Healthcare as canada does. But in the US not everyone is covered. But in Canada they are. And in Canada we live 4 years longer. Just saying.

Yeah, we do, a tiny amount. Someone on an average salary pays around £170/month and that includes healthcare, a guaranteed pension and social care. Tell me, how much health do you get for $200 in the us?

For SS, you put in 6% of your earned wages and the employer has to match it. Same for Medicare fir when we retire. Theyre trying to wreck that too. We cant have anything nice that diesnt cost you an arm and a leg.

If you have a plan and have deductables and co- insurance, you pay about 15% of a Drs office visit until you meet those deductables which is about 4k - 6 k per yr. We want medicare for all, but the powers that be say no.

Pretty sure the taxes come out to less than Americans pay for healthcare alone while still paying taxes
