telling a million people they will get say free healthcare and it will be paid for by jacking up the taxes on the top 3% or so is buying votes. And if a STATE does that-what will happen=the takers will flock to that state and that state will have to keep raising taxes on the top 3%. And when it gets too parasitic, those being parasitized by politicians will leave the state. And then those politicians will have to figure a way to keep pandering to the public teat sucklers when those who paid for the milk are no longer under their jurisdiction. Left-wingers love the federal government doing this because its much harder to leave the USA than it is say california or NY
That's not how universal HC works. It must be nationwide for it to work and if the wealthy don't like the care they can pay for their own and we will use the profits to subsidize the rest of us. The costs per person will be less than we are paying now only the costs of "luxury" care will keep going up. It is a win win don't you agree? Oh and the wealthy will be paying the same tax on ALL their income like the rest of us too. We are swimming in capital and there is no need to incentivize it any longer.
