    Why you hiding behind "poor people"?
    The question was for YOU personally.
    Do you want to pay the max dollar amount that you'd have anyone else pay?

    They must have an expectation that repub voters won't question it, reasonably and rationally? Otherwise they would not ask a question that looks like it comes from either a local village idiot, or demagogue.

    The thing is, there are decent ideological based arguments that they could use and exhibit some honesty and integrity, instead of trying to be cleverly, or not so cleverly deceitful. You see the same sort of trickery coming from the democrats on other issues, so this deceit is as common as having an anus. For it is used by both sides. It is just too bad that being an ideological partisan insures that we have to endure this absurdity, the ludicrous side of sh*t hitting the fan, yielding some of the vilest, stinky, sh*t covered fan blades ever seen in this universe.

    I just know that it irritate the hell out of me, and what is more irritating, astounding and appalling is that both sides use this deceit, and it works on a certain percentage of our population, or they would not use it. Exploiting whatever percent of us are stupid, ignorant, and obviously cursed with IQ scores lower than room temp. Modern politics is all about exploitation, whether it exploits low IQs or the poor in other poor nations for their labor, that has gutted this nation of middle class jobs and wages. If we would only see what these politicians are in reality, and vote them out, perhaps we could greatly reduce the smell of cesspools and fecal filled sewers.

    Apparently the ideological based arguments must be too weak to be used?

    You obviously have a problem. My opinion means little. What you pay us based upon a formula used by SS. Everyone is entitled to enroll in SS to determine their eligibility for Medicare.
    You also have the perfect out for rich people. Refuse eligibility and buy your own private insurance.

    Who pays for everything ? It’s the middle class. They pay for everything, the poor and salaries for the rich.

    Why not put it in some perspective.
    How many F-22 Raptor planes would MediCare for all cost?
    1 Raptor = $150 Million.



    MediCare is a joke.
    Too many donut holes.
    I supplement mine with a Plan F
    to cover anything MediCare doesn't.

    FedCare should cover 100%! End the tax for being ill.
    And don't get me started on the separate drug plans
    :rant: :rant:

    I didn't mention the poor or the middle class.
    Do you think others should pay more than you, yes or no?

    No? Should a rich person pay more for the same loaf of bread the poor person buys? Should the rich person pay more for the same gallon of milk or gallon of gas or clothing simply because he has more money?

    That's not how he feels, and he's hiding behind the poor in hopes of getting him some goodies

    Others, you mean 15% of the population. 85% are totally insignificant. Interesting. I’m not concerned because

    https://www.businessinsider.com/how-rich-people-get-paid-2015-9

    Rich people can get paid by stock options and profit sharing and declare whatever income they need to eliminate much of their tax burden.
    I’m not worried about you the top 15%.

    No, I’m not worried about the top 10% paying more then their share. They don’t. Is this hard for you to understand.

    No....but rich people shouldn’t force me to pay more by being against the free enterprise system. Rich people are free to have private insurance.
