Pretty fleshed out funding proposal, cheers for that. The only concern I have is this: the general principle is that this is a ‘head’ tax instead of a payroll tax. It might not be less workable and have trouble generating the revenue projections.

Also, it could endanger Medicare For All if everyone is contributing something to it. One of the things that has saved Social Security and Medicare for decades is the fact that everyone gives to it. They are programs that belong to We The People, and that gives them remarkable resilience to being killed by the corporate right wingers when they are in power. MFA likely needs to have everyone contributing something to it as well to have that same long term resilience.
