That's my point. You can totally have those things, just most middle class people will have to pay in, it cannot be built via taxing only some nebulous $100 mil

- ceejayoz 7y agoIt's a dishonest framing, though. The middle class already pays in, at an exorbitant rate that's twice the rest of the developed world. Changing how we pay is different from paying more.

The difference is that the cost savings should make this enough enough to cover EVERYONE, not just the upper-heeled middle class. It's possible that quite a bit of the middle class may not notice a large difference in take-home pay even with an additional 10 percentage points of federal income tax. 0: https://www.peoplekeep.com/blog/what-percent-of-health-insurance-is-paid-by-employers https://www.peoplekeep.com/blog/what-percent-of-health-insur...
