Nothing is stopping you from purchasing med insurance privately. My parents were small business owners so they have to pay for medical out of pocket.

Do you know how much it costs for basic coverage privately?

It’s expensive. What’s your point?

Your employer having influence over your healthcare options is YOUR choice because your employer is subsidizing some of the cost for you. Again, you are welcome to purchase your own insurance through private means if your priority is to have medical coverage that is not tied to your employer but that is your choice.

Sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too. Not surprised by your stance of wanting shit for free

Well don’t you sound like a peach. The point is it’s prohibitively expensive through private insurance which is why people are dependent on employer sponsored healthcare. Did you grow up well off? Because you don’t sound like a person who’s ever had to worry about finances like this. And if you didn’t grow up well off then jesus learn some fucking empathy because all that your espousing here is for people to just fucking die if they can’t afford their medications or healthcare.

So your top priority is saving money on health insurance or making sure your employer is not holding you hostage with health insurance? I understand both are important but those are not the options here.

You sound like a child complaining because he can’t get everything he wants. In an ideal situation, yes all this shit would be free and life would be grand but it’s not like that. There are consequences to giving out free shit blindly to everyone which you clearly do not understand.

There needs to balance so society doesn’t fall apart. What the hell happens to our grandkids if we start offering health insurance for free to everyone in this country? Where is your fucking empathy for them?

Well you didn’t answer my question so I’ll take that as you saying “I’ve never actually had to deal with these problems and have had a relatively easy life so fuck everyone else”
