13. Taxes will go up

Moreso for the rich than the poor. Somewhat for the middle class but will be less than one pays for their insurance right now. Medicare will get expanded. Dental will be covered, Eye wear will be covered. No more going bankrupt because you got injured when you were out of network, becuase there wont be network boundries. A great fear will be lifted from the common person trying to make it through life. It will be expensive, but we have the money to cover for it. It's being squandered right now on tax cuts for the rich and subsidies for the worst of the polluters.

It'll cost you in taxes. Yes, that's the point. Taxes, less than the corporate fees you pay now, and you will recieve a service without needing to be validated every time you come into a hospital, battered and bloodied or coughing and sick, from this thing we call life.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
