    You can't have it both ways. We are either spending 2.2 trillion more in taxes or not. Your argument shifts from spending 2.2 trillion more, to the government making your decisions for you. Pick a reason to be upset because it can't be both.

    When failed CEOs get 400 mil to leave their job, relief pitchers get 120 mil to throw a few pitches every few days or entertainers get 20 mil to make a movie of the week, yeah...I think a combination of the 1%who have almost all the wealth and professional athletes and entertainers probably could cover the bill tomorrow..but they may have to go to the Cayman's to get the money back here first.

    Sigh.... See how you don't understand? There will no longer be an insurance premium.. How much are you paying for insurance monthly now?

    Nothing has frivolously wasted more money than our federal government. And you trust them with 2.2 more trillion? Smart

    who said I fucking trust anybody..it's not about me and who I trust. I think the wealthiest elements of our society waste their fare share of the money...Warren Buffett agrees with me....he must be as dumb as you think I am dude

    Your federal government is in charge of your healthcare. If you don't trust them then why support single payer

    So you're the guy driving up the cost of insurance...that's blasphemy! I wondered who insurance companies actually get to pay those prices...now I know:)

    2.2÷3= roughly 73%.

    You mean to tell me you wouldn't rather spend $1350 more in tax and save $500 per year in healthcare costs?

    I would if I trusted my government enough to know what to do with it. We have over a 18 year record of our federal government wasting money and being way over budget. If a financial planner was giving me a net loss for my money, he would be fired

    That's the thing. I can vote those motherfuckers out. I can't vote out Steven J. Helmsley the CEO of United Healthcare. He's a dictator so fuck him!

    Ding ding ding!!!! You just proved how valuable free market is!!! You choose not to support either groups because you don't trust them. With single payer, you don't get to choose

    Ah so you are for government speed? Like every 2-4 years instead of just canceling a policy and looking elsewhere? Smart...

    Lol 4 years instead of 1 day. All I have to do is cancel my policy and find another the same day. You need to wait 2-4 years to cancel or change yours.

    Look at the track record. Single payer works. It saves money and covers everyone.
