People without insurance get a little sick and don't go to the doctor when it would be a easy cheap fix, then because they waited they get REALLY sick and need hospitalization. Once again they are broke they have no cash. Who pays their bill? YOU. Anyone with half a brain would realize it's CHEAPER to help these people go to the doctor instead of paying for thier hospitalization or needless ER visits. Do you think the hospital is eating these cost? No. They charge higher rates to insurance companies and paying patients. YOUR insurance company isn't going to eat these higher costs they are going to increase your premium. So "hard working" people are already paying for the health care of those without insurance. Except they are paying MORE than they would if those people had some kind if insurance. Also The only people effected by any increase taxes would be those making over $250K. It never ceases to amaze me by people that care so much about millionaires and billionaires and thier taxes and couldn't give a rats ass about poorer people. As if the rich need your sympathy or help nor would they appreciate it nor would they care about YOUR problems.


Besides no has said people would get FREE insurance. I think the haters and dipshits don't do much research.

For example our state has state health insurance for ALL children. That doesn't mean that parents get FREE health insurance for their kids. At a minimum there are co-pays. Also since 90% of our state income is derived from sales taxes, parents are technically paying for the insurance since nearly everything you buy including food is subject to sales tax.
