The increased taxes pay for universal healthcare, which would take the place of the current costs. If you remove the cost of current healthcare plans, and pay less than that cost per year in taxes, it would pay for universal healthcare AND be less expensive. But it won't happen because taxes bad.
We already pay enough taxes into medical services to fund a UHC. Which is why you'd actually pay less in taxes (true single payer will reduce cost across the board) and also not have to pay for private healthcare.
The current system isn't some compromise, it's theft.
