That 4.7% increase is only half of the tax. Rostenkowski and the Democrats proposed a 22% FICA tax in 1991 to ensure the boondoggle survival for another 75 years.

Together with Clinton's 8-9% health care tax, the Democrats proposed about a 31% payroll tax to fund these monstrosities. One could expect the health care tax to easily approach 15 to 20% in short order. So, the tax on payroll would probably grow to around 40% in time. The Democrats purposely understate the tax necessary to fund the program and its many layers in order to get the program started. In addition, waste and fraud in health care would grow even more. We would need a virtual police state to look after these government programs and their rampant fraud.
