Single Payer, Socialized Medicine, Medicare for all, "Free" health care, etc. All the same-taxpayer funded health care. I see a whole lot of liberals promoting this-including those that should be smart enough to know better that have been elected to congress. So-how much more are YOU, personally, willing to pay in taxes to fund "free" health care?
And NO-you can't pass the buck by saying "tax the rich"-the rich already pay most of the taxes in this country. How much are YOU willing to contribute? How much will you cut from your budget? What will you do without? If you don't currently have a job-or enough extra-you'll have to get one or another job to pay your share.

Increase the top tax bracket to 45% and keep the existing brackets the same, meaning if you're a family earning less than $600,000 a year, you won't feel any difference.
Institute a federal VAT on all goods.
Have the government negotiate prices on behalf of the consumers so the price of medicine and procedures is less than what it's today in the USA.
Cut the defense budget by any amount necessary if the above is not sufficient to make ends meet.

I suspect this question will be ignored.
