Yes health care is expensive but getting rid of Obamacare will not make it cheaper.

I said to the government, not just income taxes. I pay Oregon income tax and Washington sales tax. There are also property taxes, vehicle registration fees, taxes on phone, cable, internet, etc. Utility taxes. Take some time to add up all the miscellaneous fees and taxes that get paid besides income. Most of them are not income based, so in essence are a larger percentage of a lower income.
