"Putting special taxes on medical related goods and services isnt going to improve medical care any more that putting special taxes on tobacco increases the sale of tobacco products."
False analogy. The idea is to reduce the costs in the long run, not increase the revenue stream.
How does taxing something reduce the cost of it?
By making sure everybody is covered will drive down the cost. The industrialized West, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand's populations pay less, live longer, for less per person than here in the U.S.
You could look it up, but you won't because you don't want to know the truth.
