I feel like we need to initiate price controls eventually anyway, but for now I think we should have our Medicare be able to negotiate a la any old insurance company. By not including price controls now we give future legislatures something to do lol
This new 10% tax would likely replace the old 2.5% one. Did that 2.5% tax have an upper threshold like real social security tax irl? I don't think real life medicare tax has an upper bound, but I know social security tax starts to taper off at a certain point... Or at least I think I remember that it does.
Also, do you think 10% could actually cover something like this? I don't have the budget numbers in front of me lol
