Reply #105: 2.5% is not a huge amount to pay if it covers 96% of the current uninsured [View All]

[no limit]

taxes are nothing new. I am willing to bet that if the government raised our taxes tomorrow by 2.5% the majority of this country wouldn't notice. Would you be ok with a 2.5% tax increase across the board if it meant bringing a single payer system to this country?

You can not refute that this bill will help the poor in this country. Yes, this will affect the middle class in a small way, which I agree sucks. But that's a trade off I'm willing to make (speaking as a person that just falls outside of the affordibility credit).
