Yeah, it would be interesting to know what it would cost


to provide insurance to everyone (under 65... since 65+ is covered by medicare) with a $5K deductible for individuals and $10K for families. My guess is something like a 5% or 6% payroll tax (with an employer match) would cover the cost of the program. While workers and employers would be subject to an additional tax, it would be offset (and more than offset for many workers) by no employee or employer paid insurance premiums. A family making $50K per year would get insurance with a $10K deductible for $2.5K - $3.0K and the employer would not have to offer insurance. In fact, I would think the savings would be enough to allow employers to offer or employees to purchase "gap" insurance.
