Tax Proposal. Tax Restaurants to Pay for Nursing. 3 Key Points.

Originators of the tax plan: California Nurses Association

The tax: new taxes on consumer purchases like new cars and dining out at restaurants, and business revenue

The revenue would fund:  A “Canadian” style healthcare system with no premiums, no deductibles and no out of pocket costs for prescriptions

How would California pay for this?

• new taxes, see above
• savings realized from cost savings from reductions in executive salaries and administrative costs for health care billing
• health care efficiency, reducing unnecessary or inefficient medical services
• federal funds
