124. Taxing the poor to line the pockets of the rich is not a greater good.
The biggest (financial) beneficiaries of universal health care are private companies like GM. I do not agree to pay a sales tax to benefit them. I'd sooner join the underground economy.
Our public healthcare system (medicare and medicaid) are paid for through income taxes. Why reinvent the wheel? Expanding those systems to cover everyone would be more equitable, cheaper, more predictable and more likely to pass.
