How about a national health care flat tax that is separate and apart from the income tax? Everyone and every entity pays one percent of gross income. Period. From that fund, everyone gets basic healthcare, if they want it. That should do it. Is that nuts?

When we finally get to single payer the extreme dearth of doctors will cause the awarding of Associate MD degrees and Specialists will have to put in one or two more years after the Associate Doctor Degree that certifies a doctor for Family Medicine. Geriatric medicine as a specialty will be limited to specially trained doctors who will serve the ruling class. Outside of that class there will be no occasion for Geriatric Medicine.

I presume that was satirical/rhetorical....

In case it WASN’T, I have a few points to counter the thought of such a fiasco (what ELSE comes out of govt):

- Not all Citizens have ‘income’; so the plan is to cover ALL Citizens, or just taxpayers?
- Will this be tiered like the existing income tax? where 47% don’t pay anything, and the bottom 5% get $$ back they never made?

And bump to the top: From what authority? I read NO authority (A1S8) for Congress to even LOOK at ‘insurance’/h’care; let alone taxing for any purpose they have NO authority (aka ‘slush fund’).

Funding socialist programs is easy. The KGB operatives head up the Red Army to take all the money and food that the Kulaks have. And then...wait, which thread is this?
