There seems to be a lot of people horrified at the idea of health as an affordable service. Its as if having paid way too much for way too many years, they now feel that admitting they were ripped off would make them look like fools.
Have you asked them which part of the service they find horrifying? I haven't heard
anyone say the problem is that it's too affordable. IMHO it seems like most people here don't like it because it's mandatory, but if health care was optional and affordable they'd be happy.
Why the fuck should I like it? It's increased my premiums by > 50% and I think that's just the beginning. The average family in the middle class can not afford this.
