Higher education is being underfunded throughout the country because more and more state funds are going towards paying for Medicaid. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has increased significantly the amount of money that states have to pay for Medicaid and thus the ACA has contributed to a decrease in state funding for public universities.

Most countries that offer universal care eg, UK, France, Canada, Germany, ... have high cigarette taxes to pay for health care costs. The Federal US tax is about $1.
