Let's not forget we've addressed Merc's magical 6% number before. 6% of everyone's income will not pay for healthcare for everyone. I believe the number we arrived at was around 20% the last time we discussed this, if you spread the tax rate equally among everyone. Or you can tax the lower end 6% after all, and the upper end 45%, and call it a day.
