I don't see a problem. Well, I do see a problem in that most Americans don't want to pay taxes on anything, and then complain about costs of medical treatments or have enormous student loan debts.

I pay a 25% tax on everything. Sure, it's a lot, and it would be nice to pay less, but I know that I can get free medical assistance for anything, free prescription medicine, free schools and universities and books for them, free dentist visits etc.


To be fair the price of U.S. medical services is incredibly inflated next to other economies. The costs to make healthcare more easily available through public services (not "free", as the average laymen prefer to call anything covered by taxes spending) would be massive without adressing this issue first - on which  medical and pharmaceutical greed likely play a huge part.
