Free healthcare for everyone but you have to pay $10 USD per gallon of gas for your cars now. Premium and other alternatives are slightly more expensive.
Yes, that’s a good trade off. 👍
Nope! No way! 😡

Would you be willing to pay $10 USD per gallon of gas in order for everyone to have access to free healthcare?
That's not how it works. A more relevant tax for your fear mongering would be sugar tax. Soda could be as costly as a liquor per oz, bake goods, ice cream. Cooking oils and butter. Breakfast cereal and milk is going to be a thing.
We already have acceptable replacements but a cultural change is needed. I'm seeing full milk turning into "Cooking milk" and 1% milk turning into "drinking/Breakfast cereal milk" if a sugar tax is a thing.
I still say healthcare is worth it. Healthcare costs is the number one reason for familys going into poverty. Creating the lowest economic class that can't get a job with benefits like say healthcare from an employer.
You can't buy healthcare insurance like car insurance it's by job opportunity. At the same time those insurance companies don't make a profit keeping people alive. So they rob you blind until you can't fight them anymore.
A government healthcare system can only get more tax keeping you alive. And quality is based on voter turnouts. So politicians spend less on epstine Island and keeping hospitals better for better voter turnouts and keeping their jobs.

I often think of this. Europe has higher taxes and socialized medicine. And there’s a correlation (causation isn’t proved, obvi) of happiness in those countries too. Eduction is better, prison recidivism is rock bottom as well as crime.
@NYCQuestions1976 oh for sure. And I’m not saying it’s the “answer”. I was just saying Europe has a higher happiness index…then pointing to things “could” be related. Like not being financially ruined bc of health issues. Just a thought.
Lol nooo. I'm wise but not smart af. As I recently learned doing the math, that $3 is just $3. So if I want to put in $4, then i put in a very LITTLE amount. But Anything more will fill my car up. So $10... more than what I have in my bank account right now just to fill my car up so Lisa can go get her teeth fixed for free?
If everyone who drives is paying an extra $5 per gallon to make this happen, why do you persist in calling it "free?" Obviously, someone is paying for it!
No. Not because I hate the idea, but because I trust that the politicians will redirect the money to their per projects and then jack up the costs.
I mean, look at the income tax. Originally it was proposed as a graduated tax starting with a 1-percent rate for incomes between $4,000 and $20,000 increasing to a top rate of 3 percent for those earning $50,000 or more. By the way, $4000 in 1913 when it was proposed is about $122K in 2023 dollars. How much in taxes do you pay on $122K now?
yes, I think GREAT health care should be availble to all as a right. however, knowing corruption as I've seen as govt gets involved, I think it would just screw it up worse than it is already. My idea of healthcare is very different than what the system provides.
Is this $10 price per gallon only for car owners? If not. You thought food prices were high in the past. Just wait until the delivery trucks are paying twice for fuel as they have in the last two years! If you can’t afford to buy food. Then you won’t need health care!
No, that would cause huge distortions in the economy. I would be willing to pay higher health insurance premiums (which makes more sense because they would be tied to the thing they're paying for so price signals would still exist).
This is a ridiculous scenario, but I genuinely think healthcare should be free for all. I guess I could use the money I have sucked out for my insurance on my gas instead?
Or we can just limit or eliminate unnecessary airline travel, and use that money for health care, leave daily commuters alone, and also improve the environment, since airline travel causes far more atmospheric pollution than motor vehicles.
@gorydetails If somebody goes bankrupt because of gas prices that’s their own damn fault. Public transportation and alternative fuels exist. If someone dies because they were denied medical care due to their financial situation that is a failure of the system.
@Redstang88 Yes they are. They aren’t a very good option. But still an option, so is ride sharing. And like I have said already, alternative fuel vehicles.
It's the same oil field, same equipment & pumps, same transport, same refinery, same processing for the last 2 decades and the price still goes up. It's being too damn greedy if you ask me.
