18. What ever method is used to fund the program |
|
It must !!! generate sufficient income to fully fund the program without drawing on general revenues. Any combination of income tax, capital gain tax, service fees, etc is ok by me. But the program must pay for itself. If not, Congress and the President will have the political power to strangle the program. As an example, take a look at the Medicare reimbursement rates of today an what they were say 10-15 years ago. IMO any tax established to support universal health care needs to be auto indexable to cover costs.
