Employers can also stop paying $6,000/year[0] for middle-class health insurance and add that to middle-class paychecks, and then the government can take it in the form of taxes, to provide the health insurance.

The difference is that the cost savings should make this enough enough to cover EVERYONE, not just the upper-heeled middle class.
