Reply #4: Not true--you would pay a premium but to the government

Please make yourself aware of the truth about single payer rather than the fear and lies spread by the insurance companies and the MSM. I used the British system and my taxes there were only slightly higer on the same salary as they are here. I also received six weeks of vacation plus holidays a year and was given "as much time off as I needed" when my father became critically ill in the US and then died. The three and a half weeks was not deducted from my vacation time nor was my salary reduced. I thought that a small amount more in taxes was sure worth excellent health care, low-priced meds, and all that family time and vacation!
