What does it take to get posters to understand the “FREE” word!

If you have nothing, see yourself never having nothing and are generationally accustomed to bonds, credit cards, free cheese, food banks, no down home and car loans, free phones, etc. etc.

What is there out there except FREE?

Geesh….Comrades……grab the darn brass ring-

Given there is some overlap of the two, likely 40% of health care consumers in the state have government provided insurance which under reimburses health care providers and these people are likely some of the heaviest users. The other 60% of California’s population will be picking up the tab for this with their health insurance premiums and their wages (since the ACA restricts the employee contribution to 10% of salary). Income redistribution via health insurance premiums is a cruel and regressive method to fund our bloated healthcare delivery system that falls disproportionately on the average worker.
