> Probably this expense should be covered by unemployment insurance or something similar. A better solution is to stop deductions for employer-sponsored healthcare and shift the expense from the employer to the employee with a mandate that old employer health insurance premiums be passed on to employees as wages. That deduction is the largest lever when it comes to the cost of health insurance (short of bad IP policy and regulation of pharma products).
