I have a problem with the concept of "free" health care for all Americans because a lot of people can indeed afford it. But I also recognize a lot of people can't, so I played around with some numbers and came up with the following simple plan:
Divide your family income by 50,000 and that's the percentage of your yearly deductible. Obviously anyone making $50,000 or less would have free health care. Other figures:
$100,000/50,000 = 2% = $2,000
$500,000/50,000 = 10% = $50,000
$1,000,000/50,000 = 20% = $200,000
You could also have private health insurance to lower the costs if you think your deductibles are too high.
