I'm proposing we don't accept higher taxes and/or universal health care as foregone conclusions. I think we can do better than just sitting here on hacker news and smugly mocking those who "don't get it."
If you take away my 20k health insurance premiums (many commenters are not counting employer contributions), tax me an extra 20k, and now I have no deductible and can switch jobs fearlessly, how am I not better off?
