This is what happens with corporate healthcare plans already, those costs get past onto the consumer (middle to upper middle class) and they pay a hidden healthcare tax on every purchase.
- pravda 7y agoHeathcare costs are part of employee compensation. The tax is on employees.
- flukus 7y agoAny evidence of this? Some quick googling and I couldn't find anything about about employees with healthcare plans being paid less than employees without them. If I understand the history of it properly, healthcare was always meant to be an extra incentive from a period where they weren't allowed to pay more. It's never been a tax on employees.
- pravda 7y agoAsk yourself this question: why does anyone get paid more then minimum wage?
