Maggie Carey - What is my family supposed to do without to provide you with health insurance free of charge?

Please elaborate on what you believe we can do without.

Do my kids not go to college?

Do we give up our home?

Do we not heat our home or eat food?

These are the questions that those of us who are middle class and not wealthy must ask ourselves when you demand that we pay for your "free" medical insurance.

You may believe that there's money out here in the working end of the economy that can go to provide your "free" medical insurance, but that money is NOT free. I earned it and I want and need to spend it on the things that matter to me.

If the situation were reversed, and I was the one expecting you to pay for my free-to-me medical insurance, you would feel exactly the same way I do now. What do we give up to support you?

In countries that have single-payer, most working people pay 40-60% of income in combined taxes & medical insurance coverage.They give up a lot.
