I would like to see a system that the government of each state purchases insurance (from private insurers) for the entire population of that state that can be used across the entire states health system. It would be easy for the government to buy from multiple insurers who can bid for groups directly from a government office who would have oversight and the hospitals could get paid by the private insurance companies. Doctors would determine the necessary care, and patients would choose the hospitals/doctors of their choice.

I'd like to see us tax the rich to buy out the insurance companies ect, and then go universal. A government hospital or medical facility per capita. "Emeninant domain" the existing thriving facilities and maintain existing staff as government employees.

Investments & Wall Street would be made whole by the people that benefit the most (taxing rich to pay themselves) securing retirement for majority middle class. Would maintain most jobs.

Federal sales tax on items over $100k @ 2%? But otherwise increase income tax on the wealthy as well as implement a wealth tax to fund, cut Medicare & medicaid because they won't be needed. Regulate pharmaceutical drug magins to a max %. Shorten drug patent durations.

I think the hardest part is how do you pay for the large % of drug studies that don't pan out. The large % gains on the drugs that make it mostly are reinvested back into studies (pharmacist/scientists/technology/materials/buildings, on and on). That reinvestment is why we have the medicines we do today, and need to keep up with the new strains of bacteria.

Robert Reich: 12 Myths About Taxing the Rich
Click to expand...
DIY
Seriously?? Thats what you've come up with, some die hard lefty to defend the position of a tax grab? and some of those myths, he might as well be talking to children..

He references Elizabeth Warren over and over...Convenient, you dont mention the multitude of individuals and academics who say Warren's policies would destroy the economy. Heck, Alberta even tried that a few years ago under premier Stelmach..It bumped royalty O&G companies had to pay...and guess what Oil and Gas drilling in Alberta deopped like a stone as that investment moved to British Columbia and Saskatchewan! What you and buddy on the video don't seem to get is that money, although digital and tracked is still mobile.


You already stated the left side of the Liberal political spectrum here in Canada..equivalent to the Far left Democrats down south..Ive mention that borderline communist..and based on your admissions, indicate the same...

You yourself propose a two tiered system...one that penalizes those who have taken risks and succeeded financially..and the more successful you've become.the bigger the gouge.

You reference fluff and BS from dusty text books and academic theorists...just that...fluff!

I gave you the raw reality of what has happened when a country blatantly changes the rules to steal money from individuals...France tried it multiple times and each time it failed...

You stated your on the left side of the spectrum of the socialist party here...and anyone understanding politics should be able to decipher your intent..

You've actually changed my mind..One that once supported the good of all Canadians..If given the chance I'd now vote to separate..

Why would anyone want to put their tax dollars into a common pool to share with people who think of you with such distain?

No joke here..just chuckles

You're at the low end if the totem pole..forkin over cash mindlessly like some rat.. and thinking you're getting a fair shake.
Keep up the hard work..

Like the communists..that enthusiasm fades..as you see the guy next to you doing half the work and getting the same piece of pie

I set aside taxes every week and estimate them quarterly. I’m fine with it. Just wish they’d tax me more and abolish this useless private insurance, which is a scam

The guy who were building for was an early investor in that little doodad that goes in the back of your phone and lets you hold your phone with two fingers

something like this:

I’d be miserable if I didn’t get to come out here and do carpentry every day

in other words, I’d be like you

From your avatar, that'd be a good thing I think? An affectionate nickname because we buds now? Send weiner pics.

Pretty area and definitely a big house. Feel free to keep sending pics. I'm guessing there's a nice view to the left?
