Use Internet gaming revenues for healthcare reform, urges US senator
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
Democratic senator Ron Wyden has introduced an amendment to the pending Internet Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act, which would funnel Internet gambling tax revenues into the America’s Healthy Future Act of 2009. A study by accountancy firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers has suggested that collecting taxes on Internet gambling could raise as much as $62.7bn for health spending over the next ten years.
