Q: If you have any other feedback or an alternative response, please enter that here:
A: I’m on a Medicare Senior Advantage plan that requires no monthly premiums. I only pay the required $104 taken out of my Social Security automatically every month. Would I be required to pay the 10% tax on my non-payroll (retirement annuity and Social Security)? If so, why would I vote for this when I would be required to pay well over $3000 a year in taxes that I will not benefit from? I am on a fixed income and wouldn’t be able to afford to pay that tax, especially getting nothing in return for it.

I’m on Medicare. If ColoradoCare is enacted, would I be subject to the 10% payroll/non-payroll tax to support it? If so, why should I be forced, on a fixed income, to pay for something that I will get no benefit from?
