People need to understand the historical significance of why these things came into being.
Especially since we are on the verge of WWIII on multiple fronts. History should not repeat itself if we find ourselfs in a world war again
WWII price controls are directly responsible for Employer Benefit plans, it was illegal to raise wages, but it was not illegal to offer employee's health care, at the time this was direct health care, companies were employing nurses, doctors, etc that would not only see the employee but their entire family often free or very low rates.
This morphed over time into the employer insurance model we have today.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoWW2 ended 80 years ago, that is plenty of time for Congress to change the rules if it were so inclined. The fact that they don’t even want to level the playing field on this specific issue, which is already overall tilted towards big business and the rich, speaks volumes.
