Except for those of us who are sick and have already paid and are continuing to pay for our own health care and for the healthcare of others.

I do know- it’s that those who are healthy still pay for their coverage whether they use it or not. This is partly why we have uninsured- young people in good health who see no need to pay for insurance they don’t really need/use. The healthy are, in effect, paying for the medical treatment(s) of their fellow insurance policy holders. I certainly don’t mean it to say that others don’t contribute to their own health care.
