This argument is so shitty because you’re not paying for others’ healthcare. You’re paying for your own, and the money goes into a pool with a bunch of other people’s, where it goes a lot farther because it turns out that negotiating inventory/prices on a large scale, like the whole state/country, gets you a better deal.

Its like insurance… but instead of paying for some board members’ yacht, you actuallly pay for someone’s healthcare.

No, you’re paying for others Healthcare, but taxes are supposed to go towards helping the whole population, so that’s kinda the point.

Like the other guy said, it’s exactly the same as insurance, but without a middleman with a vested interest in making it inaccessible.

It’s not sufficiently cruel to satisfy the ethos of a large block of our voters.
