Americans, would you pay 18% of your income for truly free healthcare?

Heed the warning of someone who lives in such a system: DON’T


It’s the biggest communist lie you could fall for.


Free healthcare will only apply to public institutions (as they can be regulated)
Only they will be immediately flooded by all the homeless and welfare leeches who have too much free time in a day.


So when you, the hard working tax payer, need medical attention, you will have to go to private clinics that charge an extra fortune on top of wht the healthcare covers


So you end up paying half your salary so that the parasites can get treated and then pay the other half to cover your own treatment

Actually it would be a fair bit less than this. In Canada a typical family of 4 pay 24% of their total TAX bill on health care.

I'm already paying 28%. I can't afford another 18%.

We would actually save trillions by going to a Medicare for all system. Having a dozen different insurance to write report's on isn't very cost effective.

What are you retarded? You want people to pay 18% of their income and then you call that payment for healthcare, free healthcare. Some dumb shit.

Hell no. "truly free healthcare" depends upon income, which wouldn't cover the 18%. This is why employers offer plans at a discount after a certain deductible is met.

It can't be free if you are paying 18% of your income?

[exitseven]

No, I am satisfied with my current health insurance plan.

[msc545]

Considering that we pay more than that now and supposedly discretionary costs then. Yeah. Might as well. We would do better with imposed costs at 18%.

[Sal_Monella]

If you actually have a real job, you already pay that much in Federal taxes.

[Pterodon]

Nope. I already get it free since I’m a vet. You could’ve done the same thing as I did.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Nothing is free, 18% of your income isn't free lol

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, that term is silly. It's public or publicly funded healthcare.

[4ngelic]

nearly 20% is too high

[888theGreat]

It ain't free if they are taking 18%

[Agape93]

Yeap
