He would rather pay the 7% in HR676. He has had to use his insurance and with his copay is now one of the working poor, savings wiped out, on the verge of bankruptcy, to sick to work but has to work for insurance.
HR676 is not "FREE TO ALL WORKING CLASS AS WELL" as your partial quote states. It would be a deduction from your pay.

7% is not going to be enough. At the current government spending, expect between $250-350 dollars per month per person for insurance, as that is what the gov currently spends on the Medicaid program (250/month/person), and Medicare pays about 20% more than Medicaid rates. $1000 per month for a family of four. 7% aint going to cover it.

Why are these people poor ? Do you have any personal experience with people on Medicaid? Are alot of your relatives on Medicaid?
