Claiming tax increases is bull shit. They always say that, but what they never say is that you would no longer be paying a insurance premium.

Example mine is 3,900 a year.. Do you honestly think my taxes would go up $4k? Fuck no it would be half that at most likely less than that..

Sure taxes increase slightly but your premiums go bye bye which equals more money in your pocket..

Anyone with half a brain should understand that even if taxes go up your out of pocket expenses goes down. No more deductibles, fixed prices for prescriptions ect..ect.. there is zero down side to the end user..

Just bad for 3rd party insurance companies and big pharmacy can't price gouge..
