Sales tax. And why not. But here is the main issue...................costs.

Taxes or the ability to pay for healthcare wouldn't be such an issue if US consumers were not being raped by big pharma and hospitals.

Allow the govt. to negotiate for rx drugs. Bulk buying and economics of scale would significantly reduce prices.


More Proof That American Health Care Prices Are Sky-High

But no please continue to allow us to bend over and receive our drugs at exorbitant prices and being charged 70 dollar for a Tylenol pill in the ER. After all nothing says free market when your MS drugs cost $4k in the US when it costs less than $900 in the UK.

But hey, when people try to help the elderly save on their medical costs, the republicans are sure to back that up.....right?

I do agree with some of what you said. I also would like to get the lawyers out of the equation. They also drive up healthcare costs with their incessant lawsuits.

What they going to do withhold unearned income? The IRS can't enforce tax owed to any real degree or unreported income.it was Obama himself that argued with Hillary that mandates she favor could not be enforced in end. The mandates was Hillary's idea really; so remember that.

Medicaid income guidelines are higher than foodstamps/cash assistance/etc and having medicaid is better than nothing and paying a fine!

If they had Medicaid, they wouldn't be uninsured, and would not be paying an Obamacare penalty.

DUH.

It's an EARNED income credit. Using my workplace as an example, the earner was underpaid, allowing his employer to make enough money to be in the top marginal tax bracket. Thus a dollar of profit is taxed at 39.5 percent, instead of the 10 percent the worker would have paid on the same dollar in wages.

39.5 percent minus EITC paid to the employee is still more tax revenue than the employee would have paid on that same dollar if it had been paid to the employee.

Are you familiar with the fact that the Supreme Court ruled that states cannot be forced to expand Medicaid and that many states opted out of expanding Medicaid?

People who live in states which did not expand Medicaid CANNOT have Medicaid unless they qualify under the pre-Obamacare rules for Medicaid - employed or unemployed.
