France: 50.1% and 41.7%
UK: 33.5% and 27.1%
Canada: 31.6% and 21.5%

and

The United States of America 29.1% and 11.9%

I said that for sure some number of people will pay more, but the overall cost to Americans will be 1/2 of what it is now.
I doubt that you'd find any bona fide analysis to back up your POV. You can of course assume the costs will be similar to costs in EU countries with socialized medicine, i.e., 1/2, but that analysis is very simplistic, and leaves out other possible costs, e.g., increased taxes, etc.

Please consider that socialized medicine was even a third rail issue to Hillary and the Democrat party in general. Bernie was an outsider, and you saw what happened to him.

If this becomes a presidential campaign issue, here is the rhetoric against:

Higher taxes.
Longer wait times.
Death panels!
Look at the UK.
Illegal alien magnet.
Work harder, deadbeats.

For:

Much lower cost.
More money in your paycheck.
No more medical bankruptcies.
More competitive businesses.
Hand it over, fat cats.
