US spends $4 trillion on health care per year. If the government spent that, we'd have to raise federal taxes by about 30%.

Whatever you spend on taxes a year, multiply by 1.3.

I suspect you spend far less than that on health care per year.

But of course, in your imagination, you wouldn't have to pay taxes, we could no doubt just "tax the rich", or else get rid of the military, who needs a military, just offer our enemies tea and cookies, much more cost effective.
