But he's not just paying for his own healthcare, even if he has insurance. He's paying into a pool of money, contributed to by all the members of that pool, from which the funds to pay his medical costs are pulled.
The major difference is that his pool is controlled by a company with shareholders who expect to leech off a certain amount of money every month. On the other hand, the government is forcing us to hand money to a private corporation with shareholders that expect to leech off a small amount every month, but the corporation has no say in who gets in the pool.
Single-payer. It's time, dammit.
