They are convinced that it will raise their taxes so much it will cost them more. And that it will cause the healthcare system to be inefficient and cause longer wait times and that the government will have “death panels” and decide who gets to live and die.
“Why would I pay the government to collect everyone’s money and use it to fund other people’s medical expenses when I’m healthy? I’d much rather pay a private insurance company to collect everyone’s money and use it to partially fund other people’s medical expenses while profiting off of the rest! It just makes sense.”
I had this argument with my parents and even after showing them proof and numbers it just turned around to illegal immigrants and what ever other BS that they parrot from Fox News. It really makes me sad to know they don’t think for themselves or bother to cross check anything anymore
