Health Tax In QC, But Regressive, Not Progressive

Not a bad idea, or precedent on which to build, tax-wise, but should be progressive, like Kent's superior model.

So while principle is OK, I agree with Marois' & Khadir's criticism: «Les Québécois vont payer 200 $ de plus par année, pour avoir exactement les mêmes services» de soutenir Pauline Marois. «C'est une taxe régressive. Tout le monde paiera la même chose sans égard aux revenus» déplore Amir Khadir, de Québec solidaire.

Trans. But Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois said the government did nothing to improve management of the health system. The new fee won’t improve health care because it will simply cover the expected growth in spending, she said. “Users will pay more but they’ll get exactly the same services,” Marois said.

Khadir: It's a regressive tax. Everyone will pay the same amount without taking their income into account.
