Cynthia Nixon’s Solution To Funding Universal Health Care? She’ll Figure It Out Later
10:09 PM 09/06/2018

Democratic New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon hasn’t come up with a plan to fund her campaign promise of health care for all, but she made it known on Wednesday that it is not a deciding factor on whether or not to enact the measure.

“Pass it and then figure out how to fund it,” Nixon told The New York Daily News, when asked how to pay for the New York Health Act (NYHA).

The NYHA would institute a statewide universal health care system that could cover all New York state residents, including illegal aliens. While Nixon did not explicitly suggest how to pay for the costly program, she cited a RAND Corporation report that outlined raising various state taxes. A study by the RAND Corporation estimated that tax revenue would need to increase over 150 percent by 2022 in order finance the system.

“After redirection of federal and state health care outlays to New York Health (NYH), the additional state tax revenue needed to finance the program in 2022 would be $139 billion, a 156-percent increase over projected total state tax revenue in the status quo,” according to Rand Corporation.

It's very difficult to determine who wins the stupidity Olympics in the NY governor's race.

Two words; VAT Tax

[LMAO]

 I think this is what’s going to plague any Democrat hopes of getting universal healthcare not only on the state level but on the national level as well. “Pass it and figure out how to fund it later” is not an answer

New York has already some of the highest taxes in the country and it ended up changing human behavior instead of bringing all kinds of revenue. Cities, states, and the federal government are all running out of other peoples money and you can’t print forever. But like I’ve said before, these democrat governors running on universal healthcare for everyone in their states will find that mathematics and reality are real obstacles. Vermont, California and New York already have found out that  their budgets only go so far

She should be elected.
She's perfect for the job.
She sounds just like most of them who hold office already.
She would fit right in.

 Budgetary requirements are different on the state level than they are on the federal level. States can’t print money to hide the costs like the federal government can
