Just two tiers? I don’t think so... Many tiers... With healthcare for the poor being at the bottom, the subsidized middle class in the middle, and those able and willing to pay the most being at higher tiers.
It amuses me when otherwise conservative people think that “equality” can and should be mandated for some services that we pay for and consume, while other goods and services should have their prices set by the market. Government intervention strikes again by “we the people” and the puppet masters we elect...
The rich can always afford better. It’s one of the reasons to work hard to be rich.
I’ll never forget these 2 rich husband and wife lawyers my wife and I had dinner with a few years ago..
During dinner, in their lavish mansion in Beverly Hills, they brought up, in a rather condescending manner, how much they felt the “folks” needed Obamacare.. (meaning those at the table of less than desirable income)....tsk tsk dear, we really must take care of the poor... they are so needy..For these two smarmy condescending smirking power players, the poor are a couple like us with less than 125k in yearly income.. Mind you my wife and I work hard, and we enjoy life. We do however have a smaller house and less disposable income. Big fricking deal. And I don’t have any problem with people making tons of dough.. Good for them and god bless them. I just can’t take the condescending attitude that wealthy liberals have. I am reminded of the South Park episode in which one of the fathers is so smug about his new Toyota Prius.
It grates on me to this day...Meanwhile, this kind of healthcare does not in any way affect these rich liberals. If they need any type of healthcare whatsoever, they just pay for it.
Sheesh, I recall growing up in Ohio and when we needed healthcare, a doctor with a black bag showed up at our house. He had his penicillin and other drugs right in his bag. He would bill us and my parents of limited means, would pay him in installments.

It is amazing how many wealthy people, both conservative and liberal feel that they should get the Cadillac health care and not pay for it. Many don’t even want to pay the copay and demand lengthy medial office time to get prior approval for a non formulary drug. Some of the worse are the business owners, who got a bare bones policy for their workers and want extra for themselves.
