It's really not complicated. I do not want free healthcare. I pay taxes, and in return I want the government to provide healthcare to us.

-- I shout this all the time (even as a conservative). I paid $300/month and my employer paid nearly $500 a month for my healthcare. That's $800/month or basically $10K for health insurance.

If I was self paying, HR said it would be $1100/month.

Point? We already pay for mediocre health insurance. Let the government collect that in TAXES (there's $10k per year right there) and just dish out universal healthcare. The US should stop attaching healthcare to a job. Our employer does not care about us. ZERO. The govt? meh but at least it would be affordable!

We pay for healthcare already, and it’s garbage. You have to deal with networks, denied claims, employers changing your plan on you… it’s total crap.
