Just like Social Security and Medicare, right?
Uh, no. You may have noticed in your paycheck that Medicare Part A is funded through a payroll tax on people who aren't using it. Part B is partially funded through premiums, which cover about 25% of its costs.
The public health insurance option, on the other hand, is required by statute to cover all of its costs by charging premiums.
Really so they charge everyone, even those who can't afford insurance right now right.
