I think tech workers just often don't realize nearly half of the country is eligible for either Medicare or Medicaid and that we're just part of the class of sub-human subjects who get taxed into oblivion for transfer payments for almost half of everyone else but ourselves and on top of that have to pay (directly on indirectly through employment) for sky-high insurance rates that the medicare demographic disproportionately voted for policies that imposed such high rates on us.

Your insurance system is a scam, but socialized health care is preferable to the alternatives.
