A slight increase in gas tax would go a long way in solving many problems in the health care system in America.

A slight increase in the gas tax would do next to nothing to solve health care problems in the US or anywhere else. Something could be done with that money that might help resolve some health care problems but your putting the cart before the horse. You have to decide what you want to do with the money and figure out how you are going to do it, and justify spending the money on it, then you can look for money to do it. There is no point in raising a bunch of money with no plan to spend it, esp. because you have to consider the fact that raising taxes in and of itself reduces freedom and prosperity.
