Is there anyway to get a per-paycheck calculation of what single payer would mean?

I'm curious if I can go to someone living in state X, paying Y per paycheck and tell them how much they are getting overcharged, and what single-payer would mean per paycheck?

2. For everything single payer, go to this website.

http://www.pnhp.org

Since much of the gold in this website is in various archives, use the search function. Also, our Canadian DUers are very helpful in answering questions about their Medicare single payer system. I believe that Canadians pay about $60 a month for what they get, which is pretty complete coverage.

5. quickly I would say take 30% off the cost of your HC

since 30% is about what the middle man gets for being in the middle.
