Actual tax payer here in a country that has many of those things, you know we all benefit from those things right?
When you are an adult and actually pay tax you realise public healthcare is cheaper, more reliable and protects more than just the poor.
I can't ever imagine being brainwashed enough to think relying on your job for healthcare is anything but a dystopian nightmare, you live in a country where the #1 cause of bankruptcy is medical bills and you are all like "OHHH EXPLOIT ME HARDER DADDY!!"
you clearly dont understand the picture, the message is that nothing in this world is free
if you go one by one you find a few points that are just a liability, is the plumber supposed to pay up for your gender studies degree?
western countries got some absurd propaganda going for them, so called free healthcare (significant portion of working people paychecks) is overpriced as fuck and the services are fucking terrible
back in germany i paid 14% of my paycheck and if i called a specialist tomorrow, i would probably get an appointment in autumn
not to mention how you are still paying extra for certain treatments and drugs, especially for teeth
state involvement, bureaucracy and lobbyists make everything expensive
p.s: the US system is indeed just terrible
