@starchild47,
Don't think of it as taxes - think of it as investing in the country you love.
10.8 percent of American children do not have health insurance and do not qualify for Medicaid. Their parents work, but at companies that do not offer insurance and do not pay enough for the family to buy private insurance. One of the largest group of uninsured children come from families that run their own business like a small restaurant or shop. Average cost for a family of four is now over $12,000 a year for a basic plan with high deductibles.
