http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/survey-finds-three-out-of-four-of-california-voters-are-opposed-to-a-universal-single-payer-health-care-system-300455055.html

"The single payer universal health care law would force Californians to hand over at least $179 billion in new state taxes to pay for a health care system run by the State of California. That translates to costing each California taxpayer $9,100 per year," said CAHU President Richard Coburn. "This new policy would eliminate employer paid health coverage and shifts health costs to employees."

The survey found:

Eighty-one percent of Californians are satisfied with the timeliness, cost, quality, availability and accessibility of their current health care coverage with 42 percent of respondents saying they are "very satisfied."
A supermajority (66 percent) opposes legislation establishing universal single payer universal health care with 44 percent strongly opposing the legislative proposal.
When learning about the facts about universal single payer health care, different age groups, demographics and ethnic backgrounds all share opposition to a government run system.

Of the minority who favor single payer universal healthcare:

Seventy-five percent become less likely to support it knowing the cost to Californians in new taxes.
Seventy-four percent of California voters are less likely to support knowing it eliminates employer paid health coverage.
Seventy-two percent of those polled become less likely to support knowing it will reduce health care quality and hinder medical advancement.
The Senate Health Committee has approved the measure without specifying where money to fund the program would come from. The state would pay for all residents, and cover doctor visits, hospitalization, emergency services, dental, vision, mental health and nursing home care. The bill would also take the all funding from Medicare and all Medicare Advantage plans.
