No way. This is because there are too many people who pretty strongly feel they should not be required to pay for anybody's health care other than their own.
Then those people should immediately stop TAXING OTHERS to SUBSIDIZE their employer-paid HC benefits.
Reagan's move I fully agree with. I would prefer people work, as in most cases, they will get quality employer insurance just as I am sure we both do, by earning it.
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? I have worked for 30 years and have never had employer insurance. Why should my taxes subsidize the quality employer insurance you have?
so how are those services being paid for? If your hospital a government run hospital?

And of course, providing for that preventative care which keeps people out of the hospital in the first place, one of the main tenants of the ACA.
and I guess you don't care that the premiums on the ACA are un-affordable?
What is VIOLENT about universal healthcare? Do tell
Universal health would be funded by taxes. If you don't pay what tax is claimed, men with guns will kidnap and cage you.
And for any health care worker who would refuse to treat, the same fate awaits.
As for me, I have no issues with taxes going towards Universal Healthcare ( which does not automatically mean Single Payer) for people who take reasonable responsibility for their own health. By this I mean weight control, no smoking and no recreational substances.
I also believe EVERYONE should contribute a fixed percentage of their gross income towards healthcare.
We have politicians and media who feed off them attempting to persuade us there is a Muslim under every bed and ignore that most people will die of heart disease and Cancer and never be involved in an Act of Terrorism.
Even people with poverty-level income? Good luck collecting.
Wrong. My property taxes pay for the trucks that I as a volunteer use to fight fires.
Fuel excise taxes when I fuel my plane pay for my use of air traffic control when I fly my plane as do you when you buy a ticket. I have a well, I pay for my testing, not you.
So I am paying my way.
Are you?
Pay for your own stuff.
In 36 states (according to the Lincoln Land Institute), property taxes are higher on rental property than on owner-occupied homes of equal value.
Looks like most homeowners are NOT paying their fair share of property taxes.
