Lawmakers Promote Health Care For KidsEssay Preview: Lawmakers Promote Health Care For KidsReport this essayThe policy I will be discussing is health care. This article discusses how the government wants to ensure that kids will have universal health care. Although the plan has not yet gone into full effect, positive changes are slowly coming around.
An idea thought of by a Washington group advocating for public health benefits for children was to raise cigarette taxes substantially and use the extra money for the children. Congress has also made considerations around the cigarette tax idea that can help the State ChildrenĂ²Ăââ˘s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). However different state capitols are affected differently which in turn leads to some states wanting to promote the idea and others donĂ²Ăââ˘t.
Cost always remains a concern when governors attempt to propose universal health care. However policymakers are continually increasing ways to find a way to promote a better life for society and provide universal health care for children.
In my opinion I have mixed feelings about raising cigarette taxes. No matter how expensive a product costs, if a person wants that product they will buy it. If taxes are raised on cigarettes, people who smoke will not care because they want to smoke their cigarettes. However, I do believe this policy about raising taxes for cigarettes should go into effect because some people may stop smoking and it is always better something that nothing. One the other hand, it will help bring in a lot of funds for a childĂ²Ăââ˘s health care cost. In my opinion, children are more important than anything. They are our future and if we keep the world and its future healthy, the world will be around for a longer time. In order to get universal health care for society, we need to start somewhere. Once we have a starting point and make efforts, eventually things will learn to go into place. I hope.

Many people argue that higher taxes on cigarettes is bad for everyone, and that raising prices would create a tax base that would hurt our economy. Not only is this completely false, but people have argued that lowering taxes on cigarettes harms their bottom line because cigarette taxes also negatively affect their retirement savings due to poor employee pensions due to high taxes, and that taxes on cigarettes hurt families’ ability to invest. This argument has never been accepted among me at the state level, in the public sphere at large, or as a position among non-smokers here. I can see no benefit to people struggling to invest more money in their personal savings account (or their savings accounts in general). For this reason, I do not think it would be a good idea to encourage new cigarette tax increases. I do, however agree with it and believe that tax increases should be an example to the rest of the population, especially those who are concerned about our future.

I do think that tax increases, particularly for the most common reasons, can increase the amount of money that would be generated and reduce the costs in taxes and benefits for all people, even the less well off. Tax increases are expensive and have little to no impact on overall spending on other things. So, what happens if a tax increase causes economic benefit to the bottom line of one individual, which has no impact on the economy of the entire country, or increases costs to the entire family? My fear is that lower taxes will only lead to less spending and less savings than I have mentioned above. That doesn`t mean there should be tax increases or tax increases that cause no growth; my fear is that people will think that higher taxes on cigarettes are bad for the economy. I believe that people benefit from taxation, which makes any growth possible. If you think that higher taxes hurt your kids, no amount of tax increases will do. You should get out your wallet, borrow something and start saving some money. If you pay no more taxes than the income of one person, there is zero economic benefit to the rest of society. However, if you don`t feel the need to increase taxes on cigarettes, then you should start saving now.

The tobacco industry is trying to force everyone to smoke. I believe they are trying to force everyone to live like they do. In America, people are paid to smoke or give up smoking. I think these people will fight for every nickel they get, and I believe that it´s better to be smokers if they pay more. That would make sense. If the industry wants to keep their money, they can do that, that would be good. It also means that they can continue to fight. They can fight to keep their business, that doesn´t make any sense. I believe the government should not be forced to pay taxes. I think that there is a responsibility to pay taxes. It should be considered as an income, not a tax. What we should do about tax increases, and other incentives for citizens to quit smoking, is to reduce them. There should be no incentive to reduce one group. There should have to be incentives that incentivize smokers not to change their smoking habits or to quit. We should also have incentives to discourage people from changing their habits by forcing them to smoke. It is good to stop to feel discouraged but that isn´t good enough for me. I support increasing revenue from tax increases to those who want
The proposed move on cigarette taxes were brought up on a number of issues in the last months, but most of them were quickly refuted on the grounds that it doesn’t serve the “health” of the smokers and is contrary to the needs and actions of the government.
At the same time, there have been numerous calls from opponents to raise the taxes on cigarettes in any case at the behest of those smokers. Those opponents are: the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Campaign to Stop Censorship and others.
These opponents are pushing a policy of cutting taxes on cigarettes by 25 percent, and some critics even have said that a cut in the taxes on tobacco will not have any effect on cancer.
How will a proposed 25 percent cut in tobacco taxes sound to smokers? The current tax rates for single cigarettes are as low as 8.25 cents/kg and there are no additional taxes to be paid by people who want tobacco-free products.
The proposed 25 percent cut to smoke taxes would also result in higher costs for health-care providers, which is why there is increasing awareness. It is highly unlikely that any changes will affect smoking or the amount of money smokers will receive in the first place.
Despite all the opposition, we should acknowledge the need to continue fighting against cigarette taxes to reduce health care costs and create the conditions that allow people with low and moderate levels of healthâ the poor peopleâ to make informed choices. The tobacco industry wants to tax everyone with a cigarette, not only the poor but also people who refuse to smoke. It also wants to raise taxes that unfairly burden the poor because they cannot take the medicine they need if they want to take the medicine.
If we all just pass the budget we should also give up fighting to reduce the taxes on tobacco. We need change. But as the past several weeks have shown, we need to change policy and change the way that we allocate health costs, so that the health of the nation and for generations to come can be served by what could be a simple one cigarette tax change (or a cut in cigarette taxes).
