Also because it's not very good. Anybody that thinks it is hasn't seen the quality of the doctors that take that instance. It's noticeably lower.

I disagree. $445/mo for a healthcare policy for a family would be cheap. Likely cheaper financially to a young family than the tax impact of socialized healthcare would be to them.

Your comment got me curious, so I looked up per-capita annual cost of the NHS (the socialised healthcare system in the country where I live).

The latest official data says "In 2017, the UK spent £2,989 per person on healthcare, which was around the median for members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development."

This is about US$330 per person per month.

(I don't have any point to make. Just thought I'd share the data I found.)

My mother working at Walmart pays $60/month since the rest is paid by the government. If you’re starting something, you probably won’t have income so the cost goes down for you too.

The challenge with almost all government subsidies is that you need a tax year of little to no income before you can qualify.
