>The American people need to understand if they want something from their government, then they need to be willing to pay for it. End of story.

Yup. It totally makes sense. Our taxes are pretty low, in reality, compared to other modernized countries. We can each pay a bit more. I'm happy to. I see too many people around me going without healthcare, or keeping jobs they don't want to stay in just because they can't afford to lose their insurance.

A friend of mine passed up a root canal this year because he had to buy Christmas presents for his kids... he's stuck in a ton of pain. It's not a choice anyone should have to make.

We should be willing to pay to make sure people don't run into situations like that, or worse.
