While I agree, I wouldn’t expect my salary to grow to include the health insurance costs; that’d totally end up just being rolled into taxes to pay for the/a universal option and not be money I suddenly got paid.
But yes, it’s $3000 after the ~$6000 for the insurance, so let’s say the cost of being insured with insurance that covers anything at all in the US is, basically, $10,000 a year.

That’d partially get rolled into your taxes. Without the need to extract profit – and even more importantly, without the ridiculous inefficiency of having all the insurance middlemen – the taxes needed to provide the same quality of service would be vastly cheaper than what we’re paying now.
