I know lobbyists are pushing their agenda, but why is nobody talking about the economic freedom of untethering employment to heathcare? So many people are tied to less than ideal jobs or prevented from starting their own business because of insurance. You also constantly hear about companies hiring contractors or cutting hours just under the margin where they owe benefits. It's funny that I often hear about how expensive COBRA is and how it's not a good deal. That's what your employer is paying for your insurance. (in an ideal world) that is would-be compensation of your's. I know the actual cost of healthcare isn't pretty, but it does no one favors by hiding it and tying it to your employer with weird tax incentives.
