- chc 9y agoLots of people making below-average incomes get healthcare through their employer. And regardless, it's certainly possible with employer-provided healthcare for everyone who has a job to get insurance through it, whether or not that's happening now. It doesn't make sense to arbitrarily decide that an idea can only be compared to one specific implementation of one specific other idea — it should be compared to the strongest competing ideas, and its drawbacks should be acknowledged on their own merits.
