Follow along with me. I'll type slowly."Paying through a tax deduction". If they can't afford their premium, simply take it out of their paychecks. Brilliant. So then they have less money for rent/mortgage, utilities, and oh, yeah, food.
The poor will not be charged. Never happen. Others will pay for them.
and how exactly do you avoid paying taxes? well i guess you can if youre a corporation that makes billions every year.
Bob has a job. It doesn't pay much. By the time he's paid rent, utilities, gas, car insurance, and food, he doesn't have any money left. He doesn't have health insurance.
Suddenly, CalCare comes along and says Bob has to pay a premium. Bob says, "With what?" CalCare says, "Your paycheck", and starts deducting $150 every month.
What is Bob going to have to do without? Rent, utilities, gas, car insurance, or food?
Do you think CA is going to do that? No. It will be means tested. People making below a certain income will not be charged. Other people will pay his premium for him.
Just like Obamacare is set up to do.
i used my case in point that i pay $150, i did not set this is a actual price everyone will pay.
i have stated several times before that California currently pays over $200 billion annually to treat the uninsured. this current amount can be used to help subsidize those people under the poverty level.
paying something into the system is always better than paying nothing. the system thus prevent free loaders.
8.2 million people are estimated as uninsured in California, what is they all paid $50 a month. that would be $5 billion put into the system annually. i know 50 bucks, terrible idea.... isnt paying something better than paying nothing?
how much would you cut costs if you took the profits out of health care and had tort reform?
every other country in the world is single payer and it works. you rally against it before its even been tried and tested.
