Healthcare Legislation

Although all types of legislation result in redistribution of wealth, redistributive legislation is meant to be most explicit in its effects. There are two types of redistributive legislation. The first is based on a charitable motivation, that is, the publics desire to help the less fortunate. The second is universal redistribution, where the motivation of the voting public is primarily to help themselves at the expense of other taxpayers.  Provide a brief description of each type of redistributive legislation? What sort of funding is used to cover the costs?  Discuss if you believe there is an alternative to the two main examples of this type legislation (other than universal care).  How can we help those who need it the most with legislation?
