Those are some good ideas. If people pay over their entire life, like they do with Social Security, then we have a better chance at affording care for all. The problem is that we have 80% of all health care costs in this country being incurred by the sickest 5% of us and you have 50% of the country who are going to have to be subsidized by the other 50%. So there are some real mathematical problems here. If we really want to pay for all this, what we need to do is shave $500B per year out of the military and Homeland Security and earmark it for health care. I think I'd be ok with that.
