I would save $5K to $6K a year at today's rates for a high deductible insurance policy (I pay the first $6,900). So, if I paid an 8% VAT to cover health care it really would not make much difference. Were did you get that 15% figure? The Obamacare threshold for an exemption is 8% currently ...
VAT is a consumption tax on B2C retail goods. I don't think we need to go to a 20% or 25% VAT like in the EU -- the USA is not laying out a social state dogma -- just trying to socialize healthcare as a human right.
