If you make big bucks — or enjoy alcohol, cigarettes and Coke — the government might hit you up to pay for fixing the nation’s health care system.
On Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee peeked into vending machines and liquor stores, company payrolls and health savings accounts, looking for a mix of tax increases to pay for a health overhaul — which could cost more than $1.5 trillion over 10 years.
Experts thought the big debate might be public plan vs. no public plan. But that may well pale in comparison to the difficulty of settling on a way to finance health care reform.“I wish there were a number of painless options,”
Robert Greenstein, executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, wrote in his prepared testimony.
“There aren’t.”
[We're going to ruin the worlds best health care system for the overwhelming majority of us and give our government unimagined power over our lives in the process. We really shouldn't let them do it.]
