Please issue an Executive Order implementing Universally available Medicare for all, deducted by taxes on all earnings without limits to source or caps. If you earned it, you pay a flat rate tax on it for medical care.
No copays, no deductibles.
Medicare rate of 6% of earned income, or 6% of all cap gains, and you can have 3% back if you have your own employer health plan. Also tax borrowed stock shares that are used for gain without counting as income. Close the loophole.
You dont have to have it, but you can if you choose and pay the full 6%. If you decide to keep your employer insurance, you get 3% of that 6% back towards your health care insurance bill.
