If a Socialized healthcare plan were to be enacted, this would raise taxes more on the Working/Middle class?

Answer 1

Yes and businesses.

Democrats and RINOs in California are proposing taxing businesses an extra 7%. Plus they want to put an extra cent of sales tax on ever dollar spent. That would push the sales tax rate to 10% in many counties. For every $100 spent on taxable goods, $10 would have to be paid in taxes.

Also, most of the people in California are not undocumented workers. Most people already have health care since California's government requires companies with 20 or more employees to provide health care. Why would employees with good health would want crappy government health care?

It looks to me Democrats are again catering to undocumented people. Just like they did when they gave discount tuition to undocumented people but refused to the same for U.S. soldiers.

Answer 2

I worry as much about the quality of the service as I do the cost. I believe government control would have a negative impact on both.

I think one thing to consider would be a law requiring Insurance companies to offer coverage to everyone at a reasonable rate. Also limiting profits on pharmaceuticals and services to a reasonable amount would be helpful.

Companies should be allowed to post a decent profit but gouging is taking place and needs to be reined in.

Answer 3

Probably, but when you compare our health care costs to those of the industrialized nations that already have socialized medicine, it's obvious that we're currently paying considerably more money for considerably less quality of care. Ironically, if you could take the profits of HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers and spend them on socialized medicine, taxes would not have to go up - it all depends on how the system was designed.

Answer 4

Forcing those that artwork to pay for the entirety of the US healthcare (the lazy, illegals, their very own, politicans, government workers, etc, etc, etc) by using the government with politicians finding out how plenty docs/hospitals/scientific companies etc could earn...could bring about the main extremely frightening cave in of the U.S. healthcare sector conceivable. in case you concept people we are death beforehand Obama, wait till Obamacare destroys the healthcare marketplace... Obamacare....is going to ruin the healthcare marketplace purely like Fannie/Freddie did to housing. then you definitely'll desire socialized healthcare, like we've a socialized housing sector. purely stop thinking its going to bring about greater valuable (if any) healthcare. i'm not completely particular why you think of our genuine economic equipment is going to final till its applied and could reason the worldwide of the economic equipment to interrupt down.

Answer 5

That is yet to be decided. The money could come from gambling revenues or tobacco revenues, etc. It hasn't been decided anyway so there is no way of knowing where the money will come from. It could probably come from all the money that is forked out to cover the costs of people who have no means to pay for their healthcare.

Answer 6

So we should be thinking of something other than socialized medicine. I am against socialism. I am, however, concerned about the unmet medical needs of the working/middle class, single parents in particular.

Answer 7

Yes of course and isnt it funny how people fail to mention that we already have Medcaid in place to assist the poor and it is a miserable failure costing the tax payers billions.

Canadas healthcare program is a failure.

Why does anyone think that Hillarycare would be any different?

Answer 8

You'll have to pay slightly higher taxes, but you don't have to worry about health care costs and hospital/doctor bills; they'll be taken care of.

Answer 9

Yes it would raise taxes on everyone who pays taxes.
