It would take maybe only 6% - 8% more to pay for universal healthcare. The way it is today in the USA maybe $500 billion is going into the insurers pockets every year.
But you still end up paying the same in taxes which isn't enough to cover government spending or eliminate the debt.

Universal Healthcare should cost America half what it currently pays. So no need to pay more.
