    That’s a pretty privileged take. If someone leaves or gets fired they still need to pay for health insurance either on the public market or using COBRA. All of this is due to the fact that health insurance is directly tied to employment as it isn’t funded by taxes.

      I’m pretty sure you’re missing my point. Healthcare is cheap af when you are uninsured.

      No one NEEDS to pay for health insurance. It’s just a middle class thing that most do.

        Healthcare is only for the wealthy. Understood.

          Are you purposefully ignoring my info? I was homeless living in a shelter for a year. I still have a ton of friends with little to no money/income. The medical system takes care of all of them for free. With no insurance.

          Having no insurance causes healthcare costs to be very reasonable and affordable. Paying for health insurance is NOT affordable.

          Is there a reason you’re fighting back against this fact?
