But the private insurance premiums would be eliminated so

any example lets say a person with a $52,000 annual income his annual premium would be
which would be $1,000. weekly or insurance tax 25.00 or annually would ad up to $1200.

Self employed would be about for the same income monthly $360.00 month
So that would be huge saving
Then of course 52,000 is not an average income.

$400.00 would be $10.00 week employee part
