There is lies the rub. Any of these plans will likely raise your income taxes. It’s likely over half the people in the country, the bottom half of the earners, will see their taxes go up under any of these plans. How popular do you think that will be?
Not popular especially with low or fixed income earners. My youngest son is single and falls in that category. Oldest is getting divorced 1 child and it would effect him too. We are Fixed income both SS age with his Military Pension, which is subject to Congress for a COLA raise. Half of which usually goes to Medicare, and our Tricare Life Co-pays go up too. Since this is not a first marriage for either of us 2 remarried widowers, I don’t qualify under to any portion of his Navy pension. Our taxes went up this year to boot. Property taxes go up this year.
All I see is more out going income than incoming. Food cost are a big issue. The reduction in what were covered care by Medicare/Tricare Life is another issue. They charge more, deliver less.
