Quote from: DKG on Today at 07:32:56 AMOkay, so you admit not everybody pays the same for the same health care services. But, unfairness is exactly what you get when you pay for health care based on income. Nobody should be punished for having a better education and job.
Quote from: Conservative Perspective on Today at 04:07:38 AMAmericans increasingly worried about economy as election looms: pollImmigration and the economy are the top two issues in battleground states. That is not good news for Biden's reelection hopes.
Immigration once again was the top issue of concern for Americans in April, but new polling shows worries about the economy are a strong second.

Quote from: formosan on May 01, 2024, 12:31:55 PMIn 2022, health care spending per person in Canada was $8563.00..Yes, I realize public health care is unsustainable in Canada without major reforms.
If we paid for health care the way Australia does that would mean the average Canadian earned about $270,000 per year, lol.
Quote from: caskur on Today at 07:18:08 AMI gave a simple math equation going by an earnings of 100,000 because it's easy to work with...
I have been corrected the levy is %2 not 3%
So everyone pays 2% of their income in the Medicare pool.
I could have written it like this..
Income 100,000
Tax return 14,000
Medicare levy 2,000
Tax return cheque 12,000
I know quite a few rich people who have extremely handicapped children... why should Kurt and I have paid into Medicare for them when we were healthy and rarely visited a doctor?
Your argument doesn't hold up because you aren't thinking about what the Medicare levy does and who it helps obviously.
We pay for it by getting less tax return back... the money isn't even missed.

Quote from: TheProwler on Today at 12:55:07 AMThat is all theater to highlight the importance of doctors.It's a retroactive tax on a group of professionals who do not have access to pensions, sick days or insurance. The vast majority of family doctors and just doctors in general in Canada are practicing through what's called a professional corporation. It's a retroact5ive tax on a group of professionals who do not have access to pensions, sick days or insurance.
Next thing you know, they will be saying they need to be paid more. That is the end game.
Someone who is earning over $250K per year solely in Capital Gains does not need to be paid more. And the benefit of sheltering one's investments under a corporation has less benefit now.
That is their real concern.
They are not hitting $250K in Capital Gains. It is the investments they are sheltering in their corporations.
The investments in their corporations are already taxed at half the rate it would be if they paid themselves.
There is a shortage of doctors and those fuckin' weasels just want to take advantage of taxpayers. The government should hire some business process analysts to optimize the operations in these private family doctor practices. We could streamline their operations and justify a significant reduction in their government paid income.
Honestly, fuck them.
Quote from: DKG on May 01, 2024, 07:20:12 AMHow on earth is one person perhaps paying several times more than another person for the same medical services not the polar opposite of fairness?
