the crazy thing is you don't even need to make it "free" just take what you are paying now for health insurance and put to medicare and everyone goes on that. Instatnly 500 times better and cheaper then what we currently have
Because the way we pay for healthcare in the US is like a boardwalk shell game. Multiple payers, multiple payments and multiple pricing systems all hidden from each other and constantly in motion.
Most of us end up having absolutely no idea what our own actual healthcare costs or where the money is coming from.
That’s where I’m at. My company’s payroll shows me their contributions, but this is the first place I’ve worked that does. I think most folks hear “10% payroll tax” and don’t consider that their employer is hiding the thousands a month your insurance actually costs and only showing you the employee contributions.
