    1. A few years ago a study was done and it determined the worst case scenario for an individual (or family) implementing a Single Payer Healthcare system in the US was that an individual or families tax bill would go up about 1800/yr. No copays or deductibles.

    Rn, I’m at the better end with an employer provided plan and I pay 300/month which is 3600/yr not even factoring in copays, deductibles, prescriptions etc etc. it’s already DOUBLE than just paying it in taxes.

    But no, clearly private businesses are way better in your healthcare am I right?

    1. Europeans seem to have better “wait lists” than us right now.

    Keep on parroting those right wing talking points though!

      It would also get rid of all the “in network” and “out of network” bullshit right? that might help with wait times too if you don’t have to rely on one of the 3 guys that takes your insurance.

      I pay around 600 for myself and my wife, and that’s with my employer continuing to pick up a significant share of the cost of health insurance that I literally never see a deduction or bill for.

      1,800 a year beats hell out of $7,200, a $5k deductible, 20% co ins, and $11k OOP max.
