You keep on saying my taxes pay for health care. You keep on saying it as if I didn’t know that already. When I said, “I don’t have to pay a dime if I go to the doctor” I was talking about paying the doctor directly when I visit the doctor. I know it’s more expensive that way than paying taxes and receiving healthcare that is universal because I’m from the United States. I had a full-time job with benefits. My employer put some money towards my health insurance and I had to contribute some money towards my health insurance, which was thousands per year. When I went to the doctor, I had to make a copayment. After my doctor’s visit, I had to pay for whatever the greedy insurance company wouldn’t cover. That shit got sooooooooooooooooooooo expensive. Now I live in Spain. I pay my taxes, yes. What I pay in taxes per year is far less than what I paid for healthcare in the United States and, there’s a bonus: my taxes not only pay for healthcare, they pay for all kinds of fabulous public services I can use that are excellent. Another bonus: Spain offers healthcare that is superior to healthcare generally provided in the United States. In fact, Spain’s healthcare system is ranked as one of the best in the world. It’s one of the best, and it’s so inexpensive because it’s public and open. Don’t get me started on medicine. Guess what I pay at the pharmacy for my prescriptions? At most, 30 cents. At least, nothing. And yeah, my taxes cover that. My taxes are far less money than what I had to spend on medicine in the United States even with insurance. So, I don’t know, dude (or dudette). In my mind, you’re just being argumentative because you’re bored. You go ahead and pay out the butt hole for your healthcare. I’ll just pay my tiny amount of taxes and get superior healthcare.
