22. I still don't understand how they are going to common rate people

Is there going to be no discrimination based on smoking? or age?


Is a 20 year old going to pay the same rate as 50 year old.


The more you get into any details the clearer it becomes that single payer is the only rational approach. You common rate the percent of income tax of 20 year old and 50 year old but the disparity of income will actually take care of the disparity of cost.


It is kind of depressing that we have to go through all of this drama for a system that all intelligent people know can only become 2nd or 3rd best.
