Yes, by taxing all Americans who earned enough to be taxed to do it...so that the poorest got the "bronze" coverage. :roll:
I guess that coverage is better than no coverage at all...added to SNAP, welfare, government housing, and all the other social welfare programs people who earned enough are taxed to pay for.
But you seem to forget:
1. Congress decides what taxes to assess.
2. Congress decides how to allocate those taxes.
3. Congress adds all the pork barrel and special interest riders to various other legislation they pass...which drains the Federal income and requires more tax increases to cover them.
4. Health care (28%) and Pensions (25%) make up
53% of the Federal budget. Welfare adds another 9%.

Trump, for all his other faults, is
trying to improve the overall economy; first by trying to shrink all the regulatory agencies to cut operations costs, then by trying to repair unfair trade deficits, and finally by trying to stimulate growth in home grown industrial production.
The goal is to decrease American dependence on foreign markets, create more jobs with better wages, and thereby increase the tax base and their ability to share both the wealth and the tax burden.
That's how I see the difference anyway. :coffeepap:
