Californians and New Yorkers could soon discover just how expensive “free” healthcare really is.

On June 1, California’s Senate passed the Healthy California Act by a vote of 23-14. If it passes the State Assembly, the bill will create a single-payer healthcare system that charges no premiums, co-pays, or deductibles. In mid-May, New York’s State Assembly approved its own single-payer overhaul (the New York Health Act) and sent it to the State Senate.
