“I pay around that much tax to live in California.”
Nonsense. YOu probably pay 28% federal tax with 9-11% ca tax on top of that.
How’d you like that to go up to 40-50% federal tax with an additional 10% ca tax on top?
I pay for my own healthcare. I have insurance but most of the time when I go to a doctor I pay out of pocket because I have a very high deductible (to keep my premiums low). Because of this, I only visit the doctor when I’m sick, not when I just have some random sniffle.
It’s not cheap but its worth the alternative of death or bankruptcy. When given the choice, most of the people that NEED universal coverage wouldn’t pay for health insurance. They’d rather get it for free. That’s the problem. They want it but they refuse to pay for it.
