What could go wrong. Of course the cost would be placed heavily on businesses so this will make them want to come here. Also illegal immigrants are surely covered.
NYS bill introduced to provide single payer health care

I often wonder what the impacts of single-payer will be on people who invested in their future healthcare - for example, people socking money away in HSAs, or teachers who accept lower income in exchange for post-retirement health insurance options.
The former might see some recovery, such as allowing those HSA funds to roll over into IRAs, but I think the latter case would basically just be screwed. Give up income for their entire careers, only to end up not benefiting in retirement and paying higher taxes to boot.

This is part of the reason I’m against single-payer health care. I took a job more benefit and retirement focused than pay focused. For instance I took an $18,000 pay cut and when I switched job my paycheck barley moved. This is because I was paying so much more for benefits at my other job. Will my new job give me a raise to compensate? I’m not sure.
Wow! I predict that if something like this passes, that the social upheaval will be beyond what most people can even comprehend. The current system is a fucking mess,- no doubt. But what this is calling for is insanity. People need look no further than the Canadian model, or other socialist utopias for a preview!
Sure, those who are currently struggling to obtain and pay for ANYTHING affordable under Obamacare (ACA), or the NYS Marketplace? will likely cheer at the immediate prospects of such a radical change. That is, - until they find that services begin to be unobtainable. Medical professionals will flee New Yorkistan; medical practices will refuse to provide services, and will just leave. Hospitals will go belly up immediately. Medicines will no longer be available.
And of course, the politicians will create a separate and “special” system for themselves,- all the while they boast in the press about what they are doing to provide coverage for the masses.
When it comes to NY state stupidity, I never cease to be amazed. I have no doubt that this will pass sooner rather than later.
