it would cost for universal coverage with a plan that let everybody have every thing they want plan - the plan that the "moderates" put forward.

It is the height of intellectual dishonesty to say that it will cost less to cover everyone if you add CEO salaries, corporate profit, lobbying expenses, and administrative costs to the cost for medical care.
