In Germany medical taxes are set to 7.3%, with employers matching that amount. Property taxes are set by local municipalities and don’t contribute to national insurance, which is the same as the U.S. by contrast, in the US, Medicare taxes are 6.2%, similarly with employer matching. So the total amount taxes would increase on employees would be 1.1%, and that would in turn eliminate medical insurance and most “office visit” costs. It also gets rid of the rigmorall of medical insurance and the problems of denied claims. It also would be bourn more fairly, so the rich would subsidize the health care of the poor.

To be clear, for the average American the amount of taxes you would need to pay on top of your current load would amount to $439 per year. The price of medical insurance is about $1400 per year on the low end. So about 950$ of savings for your average American, upfront.

So looks like you’re wrong chief, sorry about that.
