This just doesn't make any sense—single payer would free up the union to fight for more. Literally just the sunk cost fallacy.

- whimsicalism 2y agoI don’t really follow your comment, but it is true that labor is a large part of the reason that jobs bundle healthcare. Even in the modern day, they are one of the largest influential advocates for keeping this scheme: labor killed Obama’s cadillac tax which was designed to solve this problem. Not that the cadillac tax was ever going to survive, the American people are not educated enough to understand why it is such an important policy.
