Just noticed the bold part.
Your proposed solution does nothing to ensure universal coverage.
Those not working, or working but whose wages are too low to cover withholding for HI will not covered under your plan.
One of the primary aims of Obamacare is to achieve universal coverage. It doesn't actually do it, but it gets closer. I don't see how your plan does even that.

Well i meant that the people working and paying taxes would be covering everyone in the US. Its a cycle. When i'm too young to work or of retirement age then i wouldn't be paying into the system, but i could still use it. Basically the working class no matter the generation would be taking care of the others. But it comes back once you are too old to work but still require health care. The current working class would pay for you. Sort of like SS was originally set up.
I know most of these ideas are not new but i've been trying to formulate anything that resembles a compromise both sides could agree on. Because if we don't all we will do is bicker back and forth and achieve nothing. "When all is said and done, more is said than done". We don't want that.
