    Most of my family are diehard MAGA and I’ve tried to explain to them that the bigger the pool of paying customers the cheaper the insurance rates, and if you made the pool everyone in the entire country and took profit out of the equation they would pay far less for health insurance.
    Most of the time they’re response is that they don’t care that it would be cheaper, they just don’t want their taxes paying for someone else’s healthcare.
    They seem to miss the point that their insurance premium is also paying for someone else’s healthcare but in the end it just boils down to selfishness and bigotry.
    Boomers try to say that Millennials and Gen Z are selfish compared to them, but the boomers invited “fuck you, got mine”.
