We love a good Cat video...
Here you can learn more about the efforts in Massachusetts to create a Health Care Trust where all residents of MA will be covered by a single payer health care trust fund. This fund will provide comprehensive, quality, and equitable health care, publicly financed and free of out-of-pocket costs and out of control insurance costs.
It is really worth learning about!
The Massachusetts Health Care Trust would put a stop to the rising costs of health care and be financed with existing Federal and State revenue plus four taxes that would replace insurance premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket payments.
Each tax will have a $20,000 exemption AND retirement income
WILL NOT be taxed:
1.Employers will pay 7.5 - 8% of payroll depending on size
2.Employees will pay a 2.5% tax on wages and salaries
Employers could agree to pay the employee share without it
being counted as income to employees
3.The self-employed will pay 10% of income
4.Unearned income (e.g., capital gains, dividends, and interest)
will be taxed at 10%
BOTTOM LINE: 98% of Massachusetts households will spend less on health care costs under this new Health Care Trust than they do now.
