The City and County of San Francisco already offers free healthcare to its residents who aren't offered healthcare from their employers and aren't eligible for regular public assistance. And guess what? We didn't have to pay for it through a tax increase.
So the city and county cut spending elsewhere to pay for it?
Taxes are the only way government can pay for anything. If expenditures went up (for health care) then taxes were raised. And only people pay taxes, even when they claim it's a corporate or business tax.
