I am just curious why you think that health insurance premiums should be on a sliding scale On average, doesn't someone consume the same amount of health care when they earn $61K as someone who earns $200K
Not necessarily. What they use is very dependent on an individuals circumstances.
I suppose it is about affordability. If we are going to subsidize those that make less than $60K, our government is making a statement that they can't afford it otherwise. Affordability is relative to the income you make. Taxes are done on a sliding income scale are they not?
To me, it just makes sense. It's sort of like those that want the "fair tax". Take the same percentage regardless of income. ObamaCare is not taking the same percentage based on income. They are taking the same REGARDLESS of income.
At least as it stands at the moment.
I'm curious. You don't see that as problematic
