If an increased tax contribution from you, and every other workforce individual, would prevent at least one person in your country from dying from preventable illness, and/or provide necessary care that would prevent them from being disabled from illness or chronic pain throughout their life, approximately how much of YOUR expected total life income would you be willing to pay in addition to what you already pay in taxes and duties?
(Note, that this thought experiment does not factor in possible economic payoff to you and society as a whole, from the labor and expertise of the person that is kept alive may be able to contribute.)
