What percent of tax goes to health insurance?

Question

can someone give me the exact percent please.

Answer 1

19.2% (this assumes "Health Insurance" refers to Medicare & Medicaid).  This is of the federal budget, and doesn't include the effects after factoring in the states' share of Medicaid.    Your phrasing is very broad, but I think that'what you want

Answer 2

Private health insurance - which covers 85% of Americans - is not funded by taxes.

Medicare is 3% of your gross wages - half paid by you, half paid by your employer.

Medicaid is funded in each state differently - some by property tax, some by sales tax, some by "sin" taxes, plus a huge chunk from the federal government, which was collected under regular income tax.  So it's impossible to give a blanket answer on that.

Answer 3

20 % i think..
