I'm sure that would be just fine, but I really have to mention that it may be quite possible to reform the American healthcare system without having to see significant tax increases, A healthier nation *should* actually produce more tax revenues without having to increase the rates. When people are not being denied coverage for pre-existing conditions and whatnot, having more reasonable healthcare costs not having to compensate for uninsured hospital visits, etc, the general public will simply have more money in their pockets which will naturally generate economic growth resulting in higher tax revenues, so raising taxes should then be unnecessary.

It's a good thought, but I have lived in states with a 2% food tax already. It mattered in my budget. When you tax food, you hurt the largest group of people you are trying to help, the poor, uninsured, and underemployed
