text: I agree that the GOP plan(s) are not the answer. I would just like single-payer or Medicare-for-all advocates to answer honestly and acknowledge how much payroll taxes and income taxes will need to be increased and who will pay beyond the "wealthy."
  
  In 2013, the ACA raised the Medicare tax on the "wealthy," in this case "wealthy" was anyone earning above $125,000 annually. I would be happy to earn $125k per year but I do not consider someone earning that much "wealthy."
  
  Honest and straight-forward if you advocate for Medicare-for-all say how much taxes will increase and who will pay. The ACA was thousands of pages with tax increases and Medicaid expansion included but not straight-forward or transparent.
