If my employer buys health insurance for me, neither they nor I pay taxes on the premium cost.
If I buy the exact same policy for myself, it is fully taxable to me.
The amount of taxes is not small, about $1000 per month.
So, the government is already imposing a very strong centrally planning effect on how health care works by tax policy.
