Cost shifting (progressive) health insurance premiums ... SOCIALISM meets health insurance?

Progressive health insurance premiums mean that the cost of health insurance varies by the income level of the insured beneficiary.  Simply put, if Joe earns $50K per year and Sara earns $100K, Sara will pay more than Joe for same coverage.  Under the cost shifting principle, neither Joe, nor Sara will pay for the REAL COST of health insurance.  Joe will benefit from a subsidy that is funded by Sara.  The cross subsidy ensures that the overall premium affords BOTH Joe and Sara access to private health services.
