We have all of the worst features of free-market health care and socialized medicine. Maybe it has to get horrible before it can get better. Lengthy but eye-opening article about how health care in the US got so expensive here.
The Feds should levy a sales tax, eliminate the income tax, and provide zero deductions or refunds. If staple grocery items were not taxed, and perhaps the first $400 per month toward rent or mortgage, this would be a progressive tax structure.
Put the IRS, lobbyists, and CPA's out of work. |
