Energy taxes: A method for financing national health insurance

John Kraft and Ronald Vogel

Energy, 1979, vol. 4, issue 3, 429-438

Abstract: The research shows that an energy tax could be used to finance a national health care program. The tax would generate sufficient revenues for the plan, reduce imports, and reduce pollution. The tax could be altered to decrease its regressive nature and still maintain sufficient revenues.
