A universal public health insurance...

[SHRED]

...would relieve businesses from :

Providing health insurance for employees
Workers' Comp health insurance
Vehicle health insurance

These are costs that kill small business.

It would relieve the taxpayer from paying for outrageously expensive proportional costs for private insurance for public employees.

A single public health insurance system would bring down costs of lawsuits. Many of which are suits to cover future health care costs.

A single public health insurance system would bring down costs of prescription drugs due to sheer volume purchasing by the government. Just like the rest of the modern world enjoys.

A single public health insurance system would do away with the complicated Medicare system which is a semi-privatized mess.

A universal health insurance program paid by a simple payroll deduction, like FICA, would liberate the people and businesses of this country and have an economic stimulus affect that would be profound.
