I wonder how many people would be willing to spend 27.49% or their own income on health care.

Not as many as would like to spend 27.49% of yours.

Well since we are already paying 13% of our income on health insurance I guess I can add that 27% we’re spending for other people on to it. Yay!!
Friggin thieves.

my 88yro FIL had multiple scans, xrays,lab tests, cardiac tests and visits to different doctors before they okayed him for a knee replacement..

.he had one 3 yrs ago but honestly, he did not follow up properly with the therapy at home...

.anyway, he's had his surgery, he went to the nursing home, went back to the hospital after an incident of aspiration, and now back in the nursing home where he will probably be for 3 more weeks.....

he is getting goofier and goofier every day...can't hear...memory going....still very weak, can't get around by himself, will probably ultimately end up in a permenant nursing home...

so you see, this is why nearly 28% of our taxes are going to health care....

multiple him by 1,000,000 and you can see why....

its not that I begrudge trying to help all of our citizens, its just that a hugely disportionate amount of money is being used for a certain group....

I think there should be limits....I think if people want cadilac "I'm going to live forever" health care, they should personally pay for it...

I'm in my 60's so its not like I'm a young whippersnapper....

Very few; that is why it was mandated, and rightfully considered a tax by the Supreme Court.
