This is exactly what’s happening to my state - not just in healthcare but over the whole gamut.  We need more money, so first there were proposed cuts. “Ree! Ree! Ree! Don’t cut ME!” was the battle cry. “Raise taxes instead!” So that’s exactly what they did, but only on specific goods and services. “Reeee!!!! I didn’t mean to tax THAT!” they screamed. “I use that service! Tax something else!” I recently went to a school board meeting where someone actually had the audacity to say “I’ll be honest, I only care about myself and as long as you tax everyone else and not me, I’m happy with it.” That’s the problem right there, dumbass.
