Your taxes would go down, actually. The federal government pays more now than they would with a Single Payer healthcare system, because it turns out allocation and claim management for hundreds of millions of people, and allowing insurers and pharma to be price-makers, is more expensive than just giving the hospitals what they need on a regular basis.

many proposals have zero cost (or net zero, via offsetting tax credit of at least as much as the health care 'tax') for lower income earners. if this guy's only got 25% being withheld from each paycheck, he'd probably fall under that threshold.
