Can't say for certain, but it'll be a lot more than $10/paycheck.

US Medicaid budget = $295b (I think. Hard to find numbers)

US population = 313m

Therefore, US Medicaid spending per person is $78 per paycheck. Now, whether you want that in the form of income tax, insurance purchase or public debt is up to you, but there's no avoiding it.
