Health care financing initiative: 7.5% of adjusted gross income set as maximum premium for health insurance? |
The prevailing mood of the electorate in the United States and many of the candidates seems to be shifting toward adopting a national health care system. I do not support this idea since I believe that there are better ways to accomplish our goals of achieving universal coverage without turning this country into a second-rate European-style socialist "prison grid"--where individual rights get trampled by expediant collectivism. The IRS can teach us something. For decades the IRS collected data on health care spending and came up with a figure of 7.5 % of adjusted gross income as representative of the average amount per household. That percentage was then established as the non-deductible floor. Overlooking the patent unfairness of this development, we can all see the solution to the health care crisis staring us in the face: set a maximum premium limit to be 7.5% of AGI, with wealthier people paying at the same rate but paying far more money. Our current system in effect . . That's actually got some promise although, obviously, it needs to be more flushed out. What will you do about people who don't earn income but instead get their money from dividends? Scary!! The only people wanting National Health Care are Communists, Socialists, and Democrats. It has FAILED in every country that has it. That's why they come here for Health Care. It will work if we "put people to sleep" as soon as they reach the age of 62. That would also SAVE Social Security. (Oops!!!! I am giving Democrats ideas. Sorry.) This would not solve the problem of insuring those without jobs and health insurance. Ah, first SS/medicare does have an income limit. It does not tax income over $94,200 . You cannot just arbitrarily set a 7.5% number. What if that wasn't enough to pay for the services rendered? |
