40. 33 percent or less would be fair.
The trouble with charity at home is that it isn't distributed equitably. This is where you need a bureaucracy like the government to spread it evenly. Even the good doctors at Harvard Medical School who represent the Physicians For a National Health Plan, after much study came to the conclusion that the government would be the only agency that could efficiently manage such a plan although they threw in every alternative way into the think tank process before they came to that conclusion because as they said, they really didn't trust government that much. However, everyone has to grudgingly concede that Medicare is run efficiently and cost effectively, in spite of all the meddling it suffers from politicians.
