Conservatives have no problems paying thousands of $$$ for health insurance premiums...
Yet don't want to pay a fucking dime to help cover anybody else.

Maybe someone can help me on this, I just don't understand the logic behind it. I remember when I had insurance at one of my previous employees, I was paying almost $100 per week just to cover my wife and I. And that doesn't even include any co-payments that we might have had to pay during any one given year. The way I figure it, that's almost $5000, without factoring in any actual doctor visits.

I would gladly give up having to pay health insurance premiums and have my taxes raised in order to fund a good single-payer system.

1. The drank the Individualism Kool-Aid. You are resonsible for
yourself and your family. Good old personal responsibility, you know.

2. They are selfish people. That's the conclusion I have come to.
They've got theirs, screw everyone else.
