If it were an easy fix it would have been done ...


and the 4% tax increase is laughable. Not only will neither side raise taxes on the middle class by even a penny, but the amount required to cover the overhead of universal healthcare is going to be FAR higher than that. For comparisons sake, look at the tax rates of other countries with socialized medicine.

I won't get into the right or left of it as that is prohibited on this board. I am focusing only on the economics and no one in this country is going to be willing to pay for it. The poor will want to the rich to pay for all of it ... and you can't keep going to the same well for water before you run out of water. The rich are also the employers and they will simply move their companies to countries where it is cheaper to operate which will destroy the economy of this country.
