Hat-Tip Small Dead Animals
A former New Democrat finance minister
from Saskatchewan says Alberta should tax people for how often they use medical services.
Janice MacKinnon asks why would taxpayers want to continue to give millionaires free health care.
She says health care should be a taxable benefit based on use and income, as well as providing credit for healthy behaviour.
Why would taxpayers want to continue to give millionaires free health? Because they are taxpayers who pay much higher tax rates than those whom Ms. MacKinnon supports. In fact, these millionaires probably already use private health care, be it in the United States or in PM Martin's home riding. It is me, a struggling member of the middle-class, that pays offensively high tax rates so others can get "free" health-care. Considering I am considered rich by the NDP will they cut my health care as well?
Or is it that the left has been more supportive of two-tier healthcare all along.
