The modern belief that it will raise your taxes is false btw. It will raise them in one place but at the same time it would eleminate retirement funds, health and dental insurance, as well as social security tax. All this added up mean more money in pocket and less money put aside for retirement. Still against it? Why?
--------------------
How would this eliminate retirement funds and social security? I am very confused on that as it has nothing to do with health care. We have no idea what the price tag costs for universal health care so we can't tell if us not paying premiums any longer would match up to the tax increase. I am against it because it would open up for it being perfectly legal for the government to regulate what I can eat, drink and how much I must exercise. Millions and millions of people are employed in the private insurance business as well as with the doctors who bill insurance. These people would loose their jobs. Insurance companies are also a big contributor to medical research, this would of course go away with their demise. As with most health insurance plans there are limitations on coverage, this would be the case with the governments plan also, only now you do not have the option to change plans. edit: What? Talk to your grandparents about what their retirement funds are used for. It is to pay for daily living after they retire. Life insurance is to pass to their family after their death to cover final expenses. Does this healthcare plan pay for funerals? Pay off debts when you die? Pay for food/electricity/water for retired people?
