If you read the other parent comment in this thread, total expenditures on health care would actually drop by close to 50% overall (with a few fraught assumptions, of course). In the best/worst case, that's a $350B economic blow to those who rely on insurers for their employment. Given the complexity of the health care system around the US, I'm sure any move to universal health care will be extremely economically disruptive and render quite a few people jobless without competitive skills.
