You already pay twice that per person than that of Canada with your tax payers dollars and thats only for a fraction of your population.
Under the universal system you would be down 40% at least in money spent over time. There would be time where it would be more costly due to trying to get people that neglected their health due under the old system to get healthier and practicing preventative medicine.
People who say they don't want to pay for other people, you already do. In taxes you pay more than any other country per capita. In insurance costs you pay more every couple years in dues for every person in your HMO that got very sick and cost them more money then they planned for their 4th quarter profits.
