Universal healthcare is not the only way to fix that....
You could use the existing healthcare exchange, and just give people a certain percent of their salary that can only be used to buy healthcare. Then let them buy as they choose.
- three_seagrass 6y agoThe difference being the employers have buying power for all their employees and can keep costs down, as opposed to individual buyers on the exchanges. The problem with switching healthcare in America is that any new system that doesn't allow Americans to think, "I've got mine, you can worry about you" is difficult. Whether that's forced exchanges where everyone pays the same or universal healthcare (where everyone pays the same).
