I pay a minuimal prememium (much much less the Blue Cross Blue Shield, I get to choose my docotor, I get to choose my pharmacy ect and my hoisptial if that is needed, I have not given up 1 freedom for this and have saved money over Blue Cross Blue Shield amnog others
Just Not sure what you mean, what does having universal health care have to do with surrending freedoms??
And to pay for it, you up the Tax on Cigarettes, Liguor ect the Sin Tax,, if you do not drink or smoke, you as a taxpayer pay ZERO because all the cost are covered and only those who smoke and drink pay for the Insuarance costs through theTax on those items
And you still get your Insurance NO payroll deductiond on it either
Yes you pay a montlhy Preminum for Medicare but you would have to pay a Premium for any insurance you have Health, Life, Car ect NO insurance is free in terms of no premium to pay
