Stated more simply and much shorter - and without loaded words like "inarguably" -- the writer wants healthcare bills paid by someone else.

Does the writer intends "coverage we all chip in to pay for" to mean everyone pays the same dollar amount or even the same tax rate?

US health costs are much higher than any other country. Honest advocates of universal healthcare will state that it involves either much higher taxes or government rationing, or both.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
