The money that is spent on Sports and Entertainment events which are not an essential to a family’s budget and survival, this is a luxury. These entertainment industries should be tax higher because it is a luxury. This money could go toward the health care and our seniors need. Even if the ticket price for a sport event was increased from a $1.00-to .50 cents, on each and every social event, sporting event , concerts, movie industry and an increase taxes on players and owners of teams, actors. I know I can't take a tax increase I'm unemployed and without health insurance, just like everyone else who is making under $20k we can't take another tax increase. Taxing the entertainment market and sport events, seem like a perfect Solution for income. Then there should be a cap on the cost for doctor’s care, hospital care and medication. It should be against the law for some doctors to run you to a specialist who refers you on to someone/thing else. The prescription/medicine industry should also have cap on their prices. The soon the better, I just picked up 2 prescription today, 1st was $287.49, the 2nd was 231.98. I’m unemployed drawing $290. And without insurance, how am I supposed to survive like this? Stop wasting time; make decisions and laws that will take affect SOON. If everyone involved with this Health care issue where to stop getting a paycheck until decision are made and laws are put in place, something may get done. Why are we paying people for a job s that they are not doing? Sincerely, Sherry Callahan RE: Health Care
