Probably not, healthcare costs are eating America alive. As a country America is willing to try anything except the one thing that has worked everywhere else.

- seanmcdirmid 2y agoI'm all for universal healthcare and think the system we have in place is idiotic, but other developed countries are struggling with healthcare as well (they'll say their system is the worst, just not as bad as America's). But universal healthcare is one way we can really fix our labor market: by making it a public benefit with mean-based contributions, labor markets would relax a lot: more jobs become viable even if they otherwise don't economically meet the bar to provide healthcare, because they don't need to. No one stresses about losing their healthcare when they lose a job, or want to switch, or have to switch. Similar support for retirement savings would help also.
