Creating a 4 percent income-based premium paid by employees, exempting the first $29,000 in income for a family of four
Imposing a 7.5 percent income-based premium paid by employers, exempting the first $2 million in payroll



Having old sick people covered by the government while for-profit insurance extracts profit from young healthy people is stupid and unsustainable.

It’s OUR MONEY! Why split the insurance pools and fork dollars over to private insurance so they can tell you to fuck off to the government when you get old and sick?
