You see we are already beneath RL

Medicare and Medicaid alone are

1.2 Trillion in RL

here's other revenue

Healthcare Taxes:
Healthcare Payroll Tax - $ 856.1 Billion
5% (2.5% on employees, 2.5% on employers)

ACA Originated Taxes:
40% Cadillac Tax - $ 0.00 Billion
0.9% Payroll Tax - $ 263.35 Billion
3.8% on Net Investment Income - $ 12.80 Billion

Excise Taxes:
Carbon Tax - $ 16.35 Billion
Gasoline Tax - $ 50.00 Billion
Tobacco and Alcohol Taxes - $ 24.20 Billion
Excise taxes on health insurance providers,
pharmaceuticals, and medical devices - $ 9.90 Billion

Customs Duties: $ 36.30 Billion

Other Revenue: $ 105.00 Billion

and see, it doesn't mention state contributions to Medicaid

Sp healthcare is under by about $200 billion

hmm

WE are going to need to do a bill to on the Medicaid situation

ok

Here is the problem

the budget is acting as if both the Spending and revenue still occurs at the state level

as if nothing had changed

But Medicaid doesnt' exist

anymore

So what is that money going to

so how exactly did atlascare affect that

Abolished Medicaid

and incorporated it into the subsidy

So the entire cost of Mediciad is borne through the subsidy at the federal level

and the federal expense list should include both portions

Our deficit is thus worse than what the GM department says

💀

We need to find a way to transfer that state revenue to the federal level to cover the state portion presently not included

that 39%

is about $234 billion

which is the same amount that the deficit is undervalued by

1,134 Trillion

or somewhere around there

yep

The good news is this is funded

the money is just sitting in the wrong place

1.138 T

We have to find a way to get that money kicked up to the federal level

Either with regional agreements,

or with them cutting the taxes that pay for it and us enacting them federally

That gets us back to $900 billion

Then we come up with the rest of the shortfall presently in healthcare

I think we can get the regional governments to cough up some money

which appears to be about $200 billion

so $700 billion deficit
