Is any of that ridiculously inflated propaganda based on numbers actually seen by any other nation which has a national health? Of course not.
It isn't that hard to put a general price tag on medicare for all. You use medicare payment rates, estimate how much and what kind of care would be consumed each year by Americans, and calculate the price tag. After you get the price tag, you can then determine the taxes required.

You don't have to do that, even. Calculate U.S. spending on healthcare. That's how much you need.
You're already collecting Medicare taxes and spending public money on Medicaid - take those totals and deduct them from the "how much you need" number. That is how much taxes will have to go up.
I won't bore you with the math, but it's a shite TON. Trillions and trillions.
