Exactly! For me it is the peace of mind: not having to worry about deductibles... will it be covered? What hospital can I go to? Ambulance or uber... so much stress. On top of your ailment.
I prefer to pay 35-40% in taxes and not have to worry about that. I worry about my work and my systems. They pay me for that. I pay my money so that I dont have to worry.
Paying (a private insurer) to get additional worries? No thanks.
- mabbo 5y ago> I pay my money so that I dont have to worry My view on money it that the purpose of money is to solve problems. My goal is not to have more money, it's to have less problems. I live in a country where I do not ever have to think about how I will pay for my healthcare, which would be an enormous problem to have.
- herval 5y ago> I prefer to pay 35-40% in taxes and not have to worry about that The biggest irony is that’s in line with the taxes we pay in the US (probably more if you’re in tech and live in CA or NY), so it’s not like you pay lower taxes in the Land of the Free anyway.
- xboxnolifes 5y agoTruly hard to say without knowing the commenter's income. I know that's significantly higher than my effective tax rate.
