    Why people think first part is great for insurance, but when somebody wants to scale that up its suddenly horrible socialism.

      America basically has socialised healthcare already. It’s just funneled through a 3rd party first, who jack up prices. Where do they think those premiums are going?

        "When you pay the government, you’re paying for other people’s care. The taxes will go up when more people use and abuse the system and probably won’t even be used for healthcare, and will just be used for something equally unimportant to me like feeding someone elses children in a state I don’t even live in. When I pay a private insurance company, I’m only paying for me. The rates only go up when the insurance company deems it necessary. The profits go to the people that really deserve it, you know? The hard working executives.
