Bad idea. With my current health insurance, I get good care. With government insurance (think current medicare recipients and the VA), they get minimal care. Half of the medical practices out there no long accept new medicare patients. The VA system is actually killing vets.
If we're goin to fund this, then we need a national sales tax. Start at 12.5% and go from there. That's what the nirvana of Scandinavia does. They have a VAT tax on just about everything, which drives up the price of goods and services there by about 25%. France has a VAT of 25% as well.
Go for it libs. Tax the shit out of the US and see how many people want your bullshit. A new poll showed that 80% of adults polled would be unwilling to spend an additional $10/month to stop global warming. lol....
