El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"

They wouldn't be paying "more". Actually, they'd be paying less for the universal healthcare system. I somehow feel like it's so hard for an average American to grasp their minds around it.

And that is not even factoring in that you are paying a lot more for your premiums than you think. People say, "my company has great insurance" but beyond the premiums you pay the company is cutting your raises in half to pay for their part of the premium costs.
