Health insurance is a constant cost per employee, effectively decreasing in percentage of income as income goes up. Payroll taxes scale up as your income goes up. So no, it's not net-neutral as it's highly redistributive. If single payer were implemented as a flat tax, then it would be net-neutral.
- bombcar 4y agoHaving it scale is fine imo as it fights against the overtime/overwork issue where since the health costs are constant it’s better to overpay and overwork one employee than to hire two.
