The governing bodies of cities, counties, and the state will no longer need to budget for health employee benefits. This will free up resources for other areas such as employee wages, infrastructure, constituent services, etc. By no longer having to contend with unpredictable and exorbitant increases in healthcare premiums, these controlled costs also benefit taxpayers and businesses since tax dollars will only be used for health care rather than boosting corporate bottom lines. The bulk purchasing power of a single entity and the removal of a complex multi-payer billing system automatically reduces overhead costs and enhance expediency and quality of care. A single-payer healthcare system will help stabilize government budgets and allow for savings investment back into the community and economy.
