95. Did I say I didnt like being taxed for health care.
Taxes are necessary to provide the service. In my opinion a progressive tax based on ones ability to pay the tax is the most desirable way to support the program. But there appears to be those participants in the forum that think universal single payer health care can be achieved by merely taxing the wealthy for it with the vast majority not have to be taxed for it. This will not happen. Most of us will have to pay some taxes to support the system.
Thats ok by me.
