Would you be in favor of a state run single payer health care system if it means that your taxes go up by 15% and you lose your current health insurance?

Asked by Rarebear (25192points) May 23rd, 2017

The details in my question are not exactly correct, but close. California is considering a state-run single payer health care system that will cost the state 400 billion dollars (with a b). That’s more than double the state’s general fund. They would fund it with 200 billion in current federal grants, and the rest would come from increasing payroll taxes which would ultimately get partially passed onto taxpayers. Also, any private health insurance (Blue Cross, Kaiser, etc) would theoretically go away.

So assuming my numbers are correct, is this something you would support?
