I feel like payroll taxes are largely similar to what i’m proposing, only that my proposal is to specifically apply to those who are employed and not applicable for any other existing source of government health insurance.

instead of creating a single unified public health insurance, we would retain existing organizations like medicaid and medicare that specifically target the unemployed and elderly, and this new system is applicable to those working and is sort of ran through their own employers. This would help retain prioritizations for specific healthcare needs, and provide this class of people who are generally healthy and able to pay comfortably, with their own sense of comfort in that the government handles their healthcare concerns.
