I feel like this concept is pretty universally understood as being the argument behind these plans, even if someone disagrees with it.

Quote:Yea, if you no longer have to pay a premium and the increase in taxes isn't higher than that premium (or if the benefits are superior to what your insurance that you paid a premium for provided, which medicare for all theoretically is).

There are options there.

It's universally understood by those who would benefit from it. I have great health care and I'm happy with the premium I pay. So I cannot get behind the universal understanding of raising my taxes to benefit me.
