Improved
Medicare for All
Could Save You!

Governor Newsom’s Healthy California for All Commission found that over ten years, publicly funded guaranteed health care could save Californians $500 billion and more than 40,000 lives. This calculator provides estimates of the savings you could receive if we enact Improved Medicare for All (or single payer), a program to cover all medically necessary care with no premiums, co-payments, or deductibles.

Please answer the following questions. If you don’t have the exact figures, reasonable estimates are okay. Your answers are anonymous.
