He lost credibility with me somewhat when he threw out the term Obamacare. I think it's a tactic by the Right meant to be derogatory by implying that somehow only Obama wanted it or designed it. In reality, many people contributed to it and shaped it, and the majority of Americans polled wanted major health care reform and the majority of Congress passed it. That said, the OA author made points I agree with that it seems unfair and inefficient to require businesses to perform tasks and provide services which are unrelated to their core business, and arguably should be the responsibility of individuals or the government. I hate the fact that businesses are involved in providing health care for employees, it seems horribly inefficient and out-of-place. Businesses should only pay cash to employees, ideally, since that is most efficient and the most transparent and ungameable. Employees should then get health care from the market and/or from the government.
