My income is over 100k and I have pretty good insurance plan through my employment.
And I still support Medicare for All because it's the right and moral thing to do for all Americans and humanity. Also, your employment is not guaranteed, which means neither is your access to healthcare.
I know I'll be taxed more and I'm ok with that if I know it's going to the right cause and if it's benefiting all people.
Maybe my perspective is different because I grew up low income and know the struggles of being poor. I'm an American success story, and part of that responsibility is remembering where I came from and not shutting the door behind me.
I just can’t understand why people think a plan to give everyone free healthcare is bad. Sure, you’d pay more taxes, but... pay it with the hundreds of thousands of dollars you won’t be using on your own healthcare anymore.
