Canada spends half of that per person federally on health care alone.
What it sounds like your proposing is the tax free exmption level actually becomes a check and people can decide what services they use?

It actually does work a lot like the basic personal exemption, yeah.
As far as cost goes, it would replace a bunch of existing programs so it wouldn't be $250B in new spending. You could probably play around with the tax code so that for most people you're not changing their net income.
