Are you saying that paying 30% of your income for free health care is a bargain? At the median income for 60 years would be almost $1.4MM.

That's the right take. Take zero responsibility for your own actions and blame everyone else instead.

This comment shows how uneducated on the topic you took the time to comment on you are. Average cost of college in 2010 was $33k and $38k now. source

Entry level based on the OP comment that they are a college graduate. I didn't realize that I had to specify something that was spelled out in the OP.

Your comment is the biggest problem we have right now. There's no, just paying a little more on taxes to get free healthcare. It's estimated that currently it would be $3-4 trillion a year for universal healthcare. The total taxable income the US made was ~$4.4 trillion. 41.5% of that is individual taxes. If everyone paid 10% more that would only be $182B. You haven't even scratched the surface of the cost. Adding universal health care is far more complicated than just everyone paying a little more in taxes.
