I think it would take a 20% tax on the gross median income per taxpayer to pay for each person on that tax return -- taxpayer and dependents --at today's projected rate to reach $10,000 this year. That is excessive and not sustainable. Not that Switzerland and Norway have higher healthcare costs than the USA -- comparable facilities and standards. Also high median income nations
