    Quick intro to the near uselessness of US insurance. 30% of biweekly paycheck for my insurance. $6k deductible (for my family of 3) and then coverage is for about 60% in network or 40% out of network. Whereas a hospital room alone is $800 per day.

        I would gladly give up more in taxes to be rid of insurance here. Healthcare is being touted as a bogeyman, just to support private interests…

          They do the same thing everywhere, even when you get the universal healthcare, you need to constantly defend it. Rich people just cannot stand being treated the same way as everyone else.

          But it’s worth the struggle.
