No real objection, though the devil, as always, is in the details.

My bad,  Rag's plan is simple, actually.

1. Enact a VAT for the sole purpose of funding Medicare starting at age 0.
2. Find ways to save on costs.
a. Enable free market access to consumers of medical supplies/meds from approved foreign countries like Canada, like this.
b. Standardize medical coding to reduce *redundant paperwork.
3. Repeal Medicare payroll tax.
4. The VAT is WTO compliant so Trump would basically get his border adjustment tax without a bunch of hassles.
5. Fold Medicaid and VA into Medicare.

*Mindless redundancy is an irksome thingie for INTP's.
