Sounds great until you need an ambulance or firefighters to come save your ass.
Healthcare is something that should be socialized period. It's road taxes and gas taxes that should be based on usage in that scenario.
We already have usage taxes on those and I am not sure those make sense either except it is so small (in terms of total budget) that I don't think it is worth an argument.
I looked up my local city budget. Roads are actually a huge percentage of its expenses. Not much less than the entire city police department.
Sorry I was referring to toll roads.
