It's interesting you say that, I've heard that line of argument before but it is quite puzzling.
Are you suggesting that a person on Low income in the US doesn't object to paying more than they have for their own healthcare (i.e. that they wouldn't like that healthcare to be cheaper)
That seems a bit counter-intuitive, as usually people don't like being bankrupt.
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoAmericans believe that only poor people get bankrupt... then they get cancer. It's hard to swallow an increase on taxes when you're healthy and think you will never get sick.
- raesene9 8y agoI can understand (although not agree with) the idea that rich people don't want to subsidise poor people's healthcare, but the argument I was responding to appeared to say that Americans don't mind paying more for their healthcare, which puzzles me. I'd have thought that lower income Americans would be pretty happy to have a source of cheaper healthcare, even if it wasn't quite as effective as the expensive stuff.
