No, only that our government allow those of us who must buy healthcare, etc.. on the open market to keep enough to provide these benefits to our families before forcing us to pay for others. This is besides the point but we cannot even claim healthcare insurance as a deduction on our income taxes except on the amount that exceeds something like 6-7% of our income unlike employer and government furnished insurance which is totally tax free to the employees.
