Students Support Socialism, but not when it comes to their GPA

I agree that "wanting free stuff with no cost or contribution" is as you put it "wrong". I would like to see what a government-run single payer healthcare system would look like;also, raise my taxes to cover this. rough math says the government would need to increase my taxes by over 10% for the increase in taxes to equal my current premiums.

Right now we pay more for healthcare than other countries because our system is so flawed. we pay more for both services and the same exact prescriptions that other countries do. I work for a healthcare system and the amount of charity care and unpaid medicare bills are astronomical. If your'e interested I can share a publicly published report that breaks this down. These are also part of the reason that we pay so much more, the people that actually pay need to make up the cost for those that don't.

on top of that, medical claims processing and billing is overly complicated, time consuming, and expensive due to multiple insurers.

My premiums to have my family covered are almost as much as my rent. ( disclaimer: i live in a state with a very affordable housing market)

>I feel like there is something wrong with our system when people get to vote on things that will not only never effect them negatively

I really think you should take a step back and re-read this sentence. Is this really what you intended? Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like you only want people to vote on things that will have a negative effect on them which seems counter intuitive to voting to begin with.
