Yep...very nice!
The bulk of that $572 billion in tax increases are surtaxes on income over $500K (single) and $1 million (couple).
The bulk of the savings are from cutting payments to insurance companies providing enhanced services to those seniors who can afford to pay more through Medicare Advantage and rolling those services back to basic Medicare for all seniors.....minimizing the current two-tier Medicare system.
I like it!
