for 3 years my husband (boyfriend then) was self-employed. we were dirt ass broke. i had company covered healthcare in the form of a shoddy hmo - but i had something. he had no healthcare. at no time did i feel that i should be paying more to my government to cover his healthcare and the healthcare of 20 other people. i work hard for the little amount of money i receive... just like you. which is to say, i don't think any of you should have had to pay for it either.
private insurance is available in different levels and at different costs based on income, health factors, etc. that's the beauty. you want it? go fucking get it... don't come to me.
he busted his ass and worked obsense hours, but no healthcare. he didn't cry about it. he broke his foot.... he still didnt' cry. he now has healthcare through my family plan at work, but at no time did he go on public assistance to cover a visit to the doctor.
do i think our govt should provide some type of assistance for the sick and needy? youre damn right i do. do i think i should relinquish ANOTHER 28% to pay for it. FUCK NO.
