Problem
Medicare is currently funded through Federal tax revenues. However, the population that Medicare covers, the elderly, is not equally distributed across the nation. For example, only 10% of Alaskans are part of Medicare versus -20%% of Arkansans, Floridians, West Virginians, and New Hampshiretes. Because of this difference, it has been been proposed to have states decide how much for little) to tax based on their Medicare needs.
Take the position that Federal taxation is the most appropriate way to fund Medicare as opposed to State taxes and explain why you think so.
