Where can we tax $1.7 trillion per year for single payer?

Actually, it is $1.7 trillion over 10 years or $170 billion. That is easy, you get it from the money Americans used to pay in premiums for private insurance.

LOL, you ran up a bill of $20 Trillion dollars with nothing to show for it, in the last eight years alone, and NOW you are wondering where the money will come from ???

LOL, ya gotta love liberals.

More than that already goes into the hands of big pharma companies each year.

I don't know why anyone would vote for this. This would be a massive tax increase, why would you vote to take less money home with you?

I suggest we give up 2 Battleships, 7 war planes, shut down maybe about 30 Military bases across planet Earth, cut Medicare, cut SS, and just simply start to look at balancing the USA Budget.

I have to run my household this way.....

Wake the phuck up...

And your $1.7 trillion figure comes from where?

Since a single payer would most likely be a Medicare for all plan, does your $1.7 trillion number already account for tax revenue already being collected from Medicare?

And some think Bernie's plan would work.

Tax increases across the board, with a bigger increase for the richest and a smaller increase for the poorest.
