That's not the same thing. Other "hard working" people are paying into private ins along with you. The poor don't because their hours are capped at 30 so they'll never get health insurance. Therefore they're not contributing, therefore they don't deserve it. Note: This is not my position on the matter. Just trying to explain the difference. Edit: Regarding Medicaid and Medicare - believe me, people would love to see Medicaid go also. I think they're OK-ish with Medicare because they know they'll get old at some point.
