Soda tax? To fund a government malpractice pool?

You need to stop sniffing glue.

“soda tax”

As you all well know, there are lots of people that don’t pay for much of anything - the welfare class.

There are a limited number of possible ways to get low-income people to contribute without causing them misery.

“soda tax”

One possibility I thought of before the soda tax was Medicaid adult co-pays.

However, providers would have a hell of a time collecting them.

It is much easier to raise money via a soda tax than for a office manager to get $5 or $10 an office visit from life-long moochers.

The moochers gladly pay for soda.

Even the middle class hates co-pays.

Dude, you can’t fix prices for every contingency, moreover, what about inflation?

If enrollment is only for Medicare/Medicaid providers, this will be another reason for doctors to drop out.

This is too centralized and complex. The only winners here are the totalitarian bureaucrats. I hate technocracy.

Where does the Constitution authorize the federal government to provide professional/business insurance?

This is Brian Griffin

This proposal is a scam being pushed by someone to open the flood gates of malpractice claims. If you are a physician you would be sued by every patient under this system. There would be no reason not to make a claim under this system. Say goodbye to health care by an independent physician under this approach. This is designed to collapse the health care system.

I assume the purpose is to insulate responsible Physicians from Jackpot Justice Malpractice Suits.

By creating another Federal Government unaccountable bureaucracy staffed with elite grossly overpaid Union protected Public Servants whom will issue directives, fines and penalties to everyone involved in malpractice litigation EXCEPT lawyers and welfare trans sexual clients.

And pay for it with an ultra Progressive Politically Correct soda tax.
