That’s not enough. What the people should do is demand that corporate health insurance be banned and demand uniform/transparent pricing. (Removing the corporate tax deduction and adding a personal one would have the same effect) That’d lower the cost of the average policy as their would be an influx of (on average) healthier people to the market for insurance.
We need to eliminate tax deductions as well. They distort behavior yet only benefit the wealthy. Families making under $50k aren't paying much in federal taxes as it is. The federal tax bill for a family of 4 making $50k/yr is $2,739. Cutting their tax bill in half gives them back a little over $100/mo.
As long as you ignore the 15.2% that everyone pays in social security and Medicare. There is no separate account where those taxes go. It’s just goes into the general tax budget.
