Quote: You certainly do have a dog in that fight. You too will pay 10% of everything you make to pay for it. There will be no exceptions to the tax regardless of other coverage. Thats how they can pay to treat the illegals and the poor. Nobody will be exempted or it will not be funded well enough.
10% of your income or 10% of your pension. Read the details of the Clinton plan. That is the only one that gets funded because nobody gets to not pay into it that earns money.
Look at the billions of bucks in Medicare and Medicaid fraud. They certainly will approve of it. Private carriers are aggressive consumers. Remember $600.00 toilet seats and $1,200.00 wrenches.
When I first read this this is the drawback I was going to post. Trouble with the clinton idea is it is mandatory for everyone. Some people have trouble feeding their families but would still have to give up more money,and if they don't then they get fined,digging the hole even deeper. Then there is the example of what's going on in the UK and I believe Canada has the same issues. Good idea on paper but in practice , not so much.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
