How we fund SondraCare™
A Lawsuit, and an Optional Tax
by Sondra Wilson. Updated July 18, 2025.
Congress and the President betrayed us,
Iowans must sue, and use the damages to invest in our Single-Payer system
WHEREAS thousands of Iowans are set to be kicked off Medicaid if Congress and the President throw us under the bus due to the Republicans’ recent handoff to the wealthy elite, Iowans must sue to hold those who violated our Ninth Amendment Right accountable. After all, the Medicare and Medicaid Act guarantees “the right to receive medically-necessary services”, and this right is guaranteed under the Ninth Amendment.
WHEREAS impacted persons have already been severely harmed by the threat of the bill (anxiety, mental anguish and distress, fear, emotional pain and suffering), THEREFORE impacted Iowans are due damages (money). We’ll be investing the money from damages into continuing coverage for Iowans until Iowans have our own single-payer healthcare system in place, which again allows those who make less than $500 K to opt out.
Additional damages will be used as seed funding to establish Iowa’s new publicly-owned credit union for Iowans (similar to North Dakota’s publicly-owned bank, but instead it’s a credit union). The credit union will be backed by the AAR Association, who “fights like hell” for Iowans. You can read about the credit union here, and it will get its own standalone page soon.
Let’s not wait until I’m elected: sign and share the following Petition to demand redress due to violation of MediCaid rights, which are guaranteed under the 9th Amendment, and I will show this petition to the Judge, Jury, and Attorney(s) to ensure you are included in the class action! Make sure to share this petition (click the banner) and write #Sondra4Governor, and *please* donate to Wild Willpower PAC (or directly to my campaign for Governor) so I can afford to get more people involved in this crucial movement for Iowa:
A 4% flat tax should easily cover this plan
First, if you find my calculations can be improved, please email SondraWilson4Governor@gmail.com. I would really appreciate your help to ensure this is done right. It is a very important issue.
Here’s an estimation of what we’ve currently been paying into Medicaid, so that you will understand why I am currently looking at a flat 4% tax on wages to fund this program:
– Federally, employees pay 1.45% of gross wages directly to Medicare. Employers match this amount.
– The 3.8% state tax supports numerous public programs, not exclusively Medicaid.
– Around 5.25% of your paycheck goes into these systems—1.45% federally (Medicare) + 3.8% at the state level (general income tax).
Please read on for additional parts of the plan, and several of my thoughts as to why I firmly believe this is the best plan to help Iowans. Here is a summary of what your are about to see:
Long Live “The Wave”
In the upper-right corner of the above image, you’ll see Iowa Hawkeyes turning around and giving “The Wave” to Stead Children’s Hospital, a tradition since 2017. Before we continue with my plan, please — whether you’re a Cyclone, a Hawkeye, or a Husker — please take a moment to learn about “The Wave” thanks to NBC News:
How do we get taxes from the wealthy who stash their money offshore to avoid taxes?
First and foremost, we shall appeal to their conscience and their sense of agape. This is not an “us v. them” issue, if we can frame it in a way that requests their mercy, compassion, wisdom, and leadership. Hopefully all of them have seen the movie Scrooged!, and they know what “the right thing to do” is:
