I have grave reservations about the funding mechanism in this bill for two reasons.
This funding mechanism will tax senior citizens with incomes above $6,000 on a sliding scale.
In order to bridge this financing gap, the international community has looked into new funding mechanisms.
The report calls for a strengthened focus on education and the creation of appropriate funding mechanisms.
Canada and the US had similar health care systems in the early 1960s, but now have a different mix of funding mechanisms.
It is offering a "transitional funding mechanism", which will allow countries to ask for money to cover essential needs.
The Administration will work with Congress on developing this funding mechanism going forward.
The internal market and hence the free trade in services must not take precedence over national funding mechanisms.
Consequently, it is not necessary to create any special funding mechanisms.
But they cannot finance it by means of the funding mechanisms set up for universal service.
