For over 50 years the govt took roughly 12% of every payday for a great many people probably including your parents and grandparents
Now if you want to take a principled stand, then you pay your parents’ medical bills . Of courses, the law says that you HAVE to sign up for MEDICARE or you can't collect social security - so you can support them there, too
Oh and if they are retired military? NO military health care after 65 unless they sign up for MEDICARE.
You give me better options and send me back 50 years and release me from the laws taking my money and maybe I make different choices
“It’s called “ insurance†pal”
When the entirety of what everyone pays in is eclipsed greatly by the cost of the benefits that are consumed it’s called wefare, subsidy, screwing your kids/grandkids, generational theft. Or whatever you wish to call the receiving of someone else’s labor.
If we are going to change from the socialist institutions that we can’t afford, we have to communicate the facts to those, like you, who do not understand how socialism steals from people.
Yes you were stolen from too, but that doesn’t mean you get to do it.
Insurance, indeed.
