I don\'t know, I feel like people who are paying for health insurance are already paying the universal health care tax. Only difference is that health care tax goes to pay not for all citizens, but for all citizens who share your provider. And also, to profit.
I suggest a no-profit tax that everyone pays so everyone benefits from and none of it is wasted on profit and the exclusions in policy coverage that fund that.
And, for currently uninsured people such as myself, this would be a hit to my paycheck and I\'d be glad to have coverage since I can\'t afford it with how expensive health care insurers are. And if this deduction affects my lifestyle, I might just get another job working as a waiter or in retail, right?
For people who already pay for health insurance, their cost would come down each week since their burden would now be shouldered amongst more people. Just like how your group rate is cheaper than if you had individual insurance.
Then we could go about educating ourselves on proper diet and nutrition with the goal of keeping our health care taxes down.
I mean really, Mr. Kennedy, what\'s the difference to you if you cut a check to an insurance company or to a government agency? You\'re still cutting the check, only with a universal plan it\'d be less each week and you\'d have better coverage.
