[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone could have great, universal healthcare if we simply taxed the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.

I was talking to my cousin about this. She said: I don't want universal healthcare because I don't want my taxes going to providing abortions or sex changes for minors.

I told her she already paid for abortions and trans care right now.

"I do not!" she was SO offended. "I don't donate to Planned Parenthood or any of the rainbow groups."

"You have insurance, right?" is what I asked. She confirmed, of course, through her work.

"Well, the premiums you pay to your insurance company goes toward the care of others. It pays for their abortions. It pays for their gender-affirming care if they're trans."

She'd genuinely never thought of it that way. It never dawned on her or she never made the connection. [/quote]

Yes, this.  People who think they are getting healthcare they pay for are delusional.  They pay into the system, it’s why they overpay so much never questioning why simple procedures like getting your ENT scope or dermatology burning off a wart or a specialist spending a whole of 10 min with you getting you nowhere in resolving your issue should cost hundreds of dollars with high deductible plans.  Hospital stays are financially devastating because you are paying for the care of others who would not pay their bills but have to be treated.   Plus we have for-profit health insurance and various other middlemen businesses (like drug prescriptions plans) taking their cut and they are not regulated.  It’s not even a simple matter of taking billionaires more, it’s about restructuring our healthcare system to be fair and not having people who work for a living bear full burden of this system for everyone else.
