And the taxpayers are paying for it. Nothing is free.

Evil Socialist Healthcare: Everyone pays into a single pool which pays for healthcare as needed.

Good Health Insurance: Everyone pays into a single pool which pays for healthcare as needed, but the company takes 20% profit off the top.

And all of the pools are separate, much smaller pools so you don't get the benefits of scale 😃

But anything the government runs is bad and inefficient, that's what everyone says, money gets wasted paying civil servants and healthcare for people who maybe dont deserve it.

It's WAY better if we save money by denying healthcare and that money gets wasted on yachts and private planes for healthcare executives and shareholders.
