#6 medical expense for free

On November 12th, we discussed the theme "Making medical expense for free". The panels were Nanase, Chinatsu, Mikako, Aya, and Mami.There were four different positions people in this discussion. First is Yone. She is an old woman. She has chronic illness and goes to the hospital 2times a week. She lives with her husband. She is for the system. Second is Tomozo. He runs cigarette store and he is in neutral position. Third is Kyoko. Her husband works at a famous company, so she is a rich wife. She agrees with the system. She thinks that it is good for poor people. Last is Miyu. She has 2 children and they go to school. Her husband works at a normal company.She thinks that the system is not good for her family because they rarely go to hospital.They suggested raising cigarette tax, alcohol tax, and consumption tax. Tomozo said that it is not fair. If the system were introduced, some people would stop buying cigarette and alcohol. So, it gives big damage for Tomozo. So he suggested that to raise only consumption tax. But, Yone and Kyoko thought it is not enough.Miyu disagree with the idea and suggested to raise income tax. However, now, Kyoko's husband pay his 40 percent of income as income tax.And then, we discussed what tax we raise.First, we said that medical expense was not necessary. Small children and elderly people often go to hospital, but other people rarely go there, so there are no sense.However,if the system introduced, I think income tax is the best.
