(614 posts)i have so many patients who struggle with this, when obamacare was supposed to help.
well, it did; would have been worse. but it could be so much better.
and bernie's plan to make healthcare available to everyone is so much better.
i'm sick to death the HRC is pushing the GOP talking points about the costs, without even considering the benefits, the actual financial benefits!
think of it this way:
family of 4 pays at least $12K a year for premiums.
also pays say the same in taxes each year.
but also pays thousands in deductibles and at least hundreds in co-pays.
now, let's increase those taxes by the less than 2% bernie proposes: that comes to about $240. a year.
but here is what you get: NO CO-PAYS. NO DEDUCTIBLES. AND NO PREMIUMS.
so, by my math, it saves each family at least the cost of premiums every year, which is pretty huge.
plus, it's just all covered. it is all covered. your healthcare is covered.
and i sure hope that means dental and vision too.
good grief, this is not rocket science folks!
good luck, good buddy.
