Universal healthcare would actually make it much more affordable for employers to hire people too. So they could hire more people and maybe even pay them more.

- crisdux 8y agoHow are you so sure of this? I don't think we have conclusive evidence of this. It depends on a bunch of factors, among them is what government revenue would fund it.
- mjevans 8y agoThank you for wording this correctly. There's not actually /insurance/ except for in the largest sense; it's more about health cost payment, cost control, and how badly individuals can be excluded or directly charged if coverage isn't required for all at the same input rate. I am all for requiring everyone to be part of the same single coverage pool so that the costs of medical coverage in society are more fairly distributed across all. In that respect I also support /broad/ and /generic/ taxes on things that are known to be unhealthy; such as specific addictive recreational drugs. (For example, don't tax only soda, but it's OK to tax all drinks that aren't water.)
