A sixteen percent food/medicine tax will hit common folks very hard.
Imagine living in a place like this:

This section of neighborhood has since been torn down to make way for new condos. I don't know where the residents went.
It was located in Zamora, Mx next to the condos my father-in-law lived in.
My father-in-law was both a hard-nosed redneck of the Mexican variety and a cheap sob.
When he needed a heart stent he shopped around and found a doc who would do it for cash. Total cost: $3000.
Result: Excellent - he lived many years and would have lived longer if he continued taking his meds for prostate cancer.
The meds worked very well and he felt better.
So of course he felt "cured".
You can guess the rest.
