Now that's just sad. A few years back I broke my hand and shortly after my elbow completely. I had to have surgery on the elbow. This cost me nothing. You know why? Because in my country all people are paying taxes. It boggles my mind that people in the US have no problem paying car insurance, house insurance, life insurance and really any insurance they need. But when it comes to healthcare they suddenly don't want to pay a small percentage of their income every month? This is so moronic.
The reason Repunlicans couldn't pass anything yet is because they try to fix things by spending less money, so obviously it will be worse than what's already in place.

Depends on what you mean by 'small' ? If you think ~20% of your annual salary for one service is small ...

20% of my income is tiny compared to the value my health.

Well, considering 90% of Americans have health-insurance, much more than those who pay for house insurance, car insurance, or life insurance, I don't know what you're talking about.
The problem certainly isn't about Americans not wanting to pay for health-insurance, and much more about who is paying for said health-insurance.
edit: Plus, last time I checked we all pay a 1.45% + 1.45% Medicare tax so that the elderly and poor can have subsidized care.

Lol. Is that joke? 3% is nothing. Might as well pay nothing at all, this amount covers nothing. Bump it up to 10% and force employers to pay 10% to match it, then we can start talking.
Healthcare is expensive, act like it.
