“pay for it”
I have proposed raising the state share to 18% so it is about 10% after the state taxes the providers and the stuff the providers buy.
I now think the state share should go to 28%.
As for paying for the federal share:
1. soda tax
2. sugar/corn syrup/honey tax
3. cell phone device tax
4. lawsuit verdict income tax
5. lawsuit filing prospective income tax
6. telecom services tax
7. interstate sales tax
8. fat/food oil tax
I just want to get the govt. out of the business of private healthcare. WTH it's not the purview of government to be in the healthcare business.
Historically, when govt. gets into any industry it does not belong in, take student loans for example, the price to the consumer skyrockets. Say from 10k per year for tution to five or six times that. The govt. backs the student loans so universities and colleges can charge whatever and still get paid when the kids default.Its stupid.
Same happens in health care.
Get the govt. out and let private enterprise handle the situation like they did historically and it's a whole new ball game.,p> Historically we bought our own healthcare.
If someone had a catastrophic health issue it was time to do a "local" "charitable" benefit for that person and the "local health providers" often helped out as well.
With everyone now entitled all that has been watered down. It worked for many years time to bring it back. Along with that we need border control to keep all the freebee wannabees out.Too many "something for nothing" people are sucking onto the welfare roles and its gotten way out of hand. It needs to end.
