Why Universal Healthcare Will Actually Save You Money
Americans pay $28,000 each year for healthcare—counting premiums, out-of-pocket costs and employer contribution. Universal Healthcare would cost just $8,000. Better care, lower cost and more freedom.
Ask most people what they think about Universal Healthcare and they’ll say: “Sure, it sounds good—but my taxes will go up.” That’s true. What’s missing is the next sentence: "But I’ll actually save money overall."
Here’s how.
💰 What You’re Paying Now
If you have employer-sponsored insurance, you’re likely paying:
$6,575/year from your paycheck in premiums
~$6,000/year more in deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket costs
That’s $12,575/year, out of your pocket.
But that’s just what you see.
Your employer is also paying around $17,400/year for your coverage. That’s money that could be going to your wages, retirement or paid leave. Instead, it’s vanishing into a bloated, for-profit insurance system.
Total cost of employer-provided healthcare: $28,000/year for a typical family of 3
🏥 What You’d Pay Under Universal Healthcare
Under a universal system—like the ones used in Japan, Germany or Canada—you’d pay a public health tax based on income.
For a family earning $100,000/year, that might be ~8%, or about $8,000/year.
And that’s it.
No premiums. No deductibles. No co-pays. No surprise bills. And no fighting with networks.
Total cost: $8,000/year, all-in.
🎯 The Savings Are Real

You get better coverage, predictable costs and peace of mind. Employers save. The economy benefits. And your take-home pay can actually rise.
Bottom Line
