Haven't you heard? The extra money is not going to medicare or to prop up the health system.
It's all going in the bank for when some corporation in the future wants to dip into it for a bit of medical research.

Until they need it to prop up their budget or to make certain their pensions are safe.
In reality the government will see this as a bonus as those that now can't afford to see a doctor may delay in
seeing a doctor and they may not survive,(which also means that the Ambulance and Hospital systems will
be over run and critical patient may not get the response they need),
They know that the fee will be passed on to the patient after all no doctor is going to take a $20,(over 30%) pay
cut.
The Government simply has no care factor,(they don't care who gets hurt as long it's not them),,
