This is another argument for a universal system. Our current way of doing things does breed resentment. Medicare is popular because everybody gets it.

As a single, child-free (not childless) person I feel a little resentful during tax season, that people get tax credits for having children. So I understand the feeling.

The idea of tax credits for people who have health insurance also feels wrong. More taxes for people who don’t have insurance. Yay. There’s your penalty for not having health insurance right there.
