I proposed that we have National Healthcare Through Medicare.  Suggested that we could get funds by a tax on our National Wealth. This would be about 1 to 2 % estate tax.  On my web site I showed why this was a fair tax.

 To those who object, I would like to point out, that though they may not realize this, the lowering of the interest rate from 5% to 2% has resulted in such a "tax" on their estate of 3%.  When, for example they buy a CD, they are earning 3% less than previously earned.

The only trouble with such "tax" is that the funds did not go to the government and are not available to purchase National Healthcare Through Medicare.

If we had established a National Healthcare System Through Medicare, many people who could not meet their mortgage payments might not have fallen into that position.
