Would 20-30 percent of your income pay for health insurance? |
It should. Why don't you stop wishing we had canada's crappy socialist health care plan, and put 20-30 percent of your income towards your own. Canadians pay between 40-50 percent of their income for taxes. I've been doing that for years. It's called a private group health insurance plan.It's one of the reasons that I don't have a fancy $2000 TV. blah blah blah As long as there is a huge chunk of change being taken out of every dollar you pay for medical expenses that goes to line the pockets of the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies, you will be getting ripped off. They know that you will pay whatever it takes to keep your family and yourself alive. That is the cold hard reality of our current system in the US. Big med will not change without being hauled kicking and screaming into the world of regulation, reason, fairplay and no more profiteering. I pay $175 per month for health insurance and its a crappy policy at that rate... Lucky Republicans have the best darn health care for pennies per month, eh! Strange of how you put down others for putting out the REAL facts and yet you seem to think YOUR facts are the only facts. Hey!!! Is this really Bill O'Lielly posing as NickyRage??? It's always amusing to hear an ignorant American tell the rest of the world about the disadvantages of Canada's "crappy socialist health care plan." Canadian taxes are graduated according to income. If you're paying 40 to 50 percent of your income as taxes, you're doing pretty well. Waiting lists for serious medical conditions are pretty good; if you go to the emergency ward because you have a flu and it's flu season (we're not immune to stupidity up here), you're going to have a bit of a wait. I'm not aware whether anyone has broken down how much of our tax dollars go to health care, but I do know that, as a fraction of the Gross National Product, we pay less for health care and are able to provide coverage for all our citizens. Since there aren't as many layers of administration due to having to deal with thousands of insurance companies and Health Management Organizations, the Canadian government-run "socialist" system is more efficient at providing care than the land of "free enterprise." In Canada, if someone is sick, they don't have to deal with a H.M.O or an insurance company that is trying to deny benefits to stay profitable; that person gets treated. Why don't you try the reality-based world sometime? You might like. It certainly is going to be healthier for you. You are kidding right? 20 to 30 percent only works for people with no long term health problems. Try more like 50 to 80 percent of income for lower middle class people who have developed serious health conditions and have a job that has no real health plan. For example my mother currently pays 12 thousand per year and her income pays for health insurance and the year's food. She will be old enough get government assistance in a couple more years, but until then her insurance will go up 1 to 3 thousand a year. Since healthcare is about 15% of GDP, that sounds about right. |
