The costs of "free universal health care" that "progressives" love to tout

.....as detailed in the nonsense being proposed in Wisconsin.

Let's see now:

-- Costs are 3 BILLION more than the state currently receives in TOTAL revenue.

-- Taxes will increase more than $500 per MONTH for each taxpayer.

-- Payroll taxes will nearly DOUBLE, to almost 30 percent (federal and state income taxes are NOT included in that total).

-- Huge increases in non payroll, non income taxes are also proposed.

-- The plan is also openly hostile to market incentives that contain costs, which will lead to the rationing of health care, and the reduction of standards in the heath care system toward third world conditions.

No big deal, right?

If this is a "solution", it's much worse than the "problem".

  1. What's the big deal. ? It's free, right. Er, no, huh. You mean Wisconsin will have to impose higher taxes on its citizens. Well simply go next door and tax the productive class in Iowa and Minnesota. This would relieve the unduly burdesome load from the shoulders of the badger state. Problem solved.
