Wealthy people can already buy their way to better private health care. These changes would regulate the difference between health care for the middle/upper middle class and the poor.

Although I would prefer to concentrate on the 10s of millions of non-citizens and illegal aliens who receive tax payer funded health care.

I feel like I should remind you here that many non-citizens are actually tax-payers. Taxes are paid in many different ways, but let's forget about that here for a second and realize that many non-citizens actually come here legally to work.

A blanket statement like that really doesn't mean anything. Same arguments were given about dreamers using tax-payer money, without realizing many of them actually are tax-payers as well.

You're gonna have to provide a citation for that claim, there.
