Well somewhat, of the 216 million some are employed and enjoy private insurance, premiums pay for their healthcare. But depending on the company some with private insurance through an employer pay very little of the premium with the employer contributing most or all. Some employers are just the opposite requiring employees to pay most. Private insurance varies widely between employers also.

How are those differences going to be resolved. Immediately starting on the date single-payer  begins all employers send their contribution to the government rather than the private insurer? All employees also? Or upfront all employers pay a set percent per employee and all employees pay a set percent? This would be great for some and difficult for others.

What about family care? For a two working spouse, family of four, currently the family is covered by a single company private plan. If both companies have to pay into single-payer for each employee, how are the two kids covered?
