add a $1-$2 dollar tax to all fast food orders to use to fund a Universal Healthcare Plan & abolish insurance companies

Created by J.A. on October 26, 2011

This petition seeks to add a one to two dollar surcharge to fast food orders sold within the US. That money collected would then be pooled into funding a universal healthcare plan to be made available to all legal US citizens. This healthcare plan would cover 2 preventative care visits per year, dental, and emergency care. Cosmetic dental work for health reasons would be covered with a small copay. Elective surgeries would be full price to the patient. The sin tax collected from alcohol and tobacco sales would also be re-allocated to fund this action. This will eliminate the need for crooked insurance companies, and also eliminate cost inflation of healthcare due to treating illegals at the cost of the US taxpayer, and there will be no such thing as patients not being able to afford care.
