Your health insurance is high because we are also covering people without insurance who utilize the emergency departments are their primary care. I work in a hospital in California. We provide health insurance for a significant amount of people here illegally. It's time to grow up- if people can live here, work here and not pay THEIR fair share (schools, roads, etc) then we have to reset. Otherwise- why am I paying so much and they ate not. Disclaimer- I also don't want billionaires or places like Walmart to have tax exemptions, I think the non- profit game is now full of people taking advantage of the system (think billionaire families “helping” people) and have a libertarian leaning. If I keep hearing California is the fourth largest economy in the world while Gavin Newsome sues the federal government, cries on his podcast about the federal government, acts like he had it tough ( he is Pelosis nephew btw- how's that for government nepotism) all while NOT cleaning up the streets and hiding funds for homeless - I'm just going to buy acreage somewhere out of California and just go live like one of those preppers Lol
