Expanding this especially monumental issue.
New York has a similar program btw.
I would like to see a consortium, with NY, MA, RI, CT, ME, NH, VT, etc all working together with a single payer plan

Re: Show Me The Money -- the return on investment
The only detail is who is going to pay. If its not the rich people, it ain't gonna be anybody.
We already pay for healthcare, in a weird way -- through your employer via deductions from your paycheck (unless you are self insured). Why should your employer have a say in what kind of health insurance you get?
We already pay more for healthcare than a single payer system would cost.
(total taxes plus healthcare) > (total taxes including single payer healthcare)
In other words you will have more disposable income.

Re: Show Me The Money -- the return on investment
Scenario A: pay 10,000 in taxes and 6,000 in health insurance.
Scenario B: pay 13,000 in taxes and nothing in health insurance.
Some Americans would look at those scenarios and claim that Scenario A is better because it has lower taxes. ...
Scenario B is socialism/communism/etc while scenario A is good ol capitalism ... which makes it better ...
