"Personally, I think we'd have a more dynamic and overall better economy if folks could leave their employer to try something new without fear of going bankrupt due to health issues."
Agree 100% with that. Entrepreneurs seem to be revered in our Society. Odds are there
would be more of them if healthcare wasn't tied to employment.
Having said that, it feels like it's another example of Americans saying one thing, but
doing another. Would entrepreneurship be considered competition for Corporate America ?
There must be some reason we are one of the few developed Countries that do not offer
national healthcare for all. The argument being made is that America can't afford it.
But we all paid for healthcare, even if one had an employer backed plan. And if one is
buying it on the marketplace as a standalone entity, they are really paying for it. So
that money could be used to mitigate the cost to the taxpayer. And America could easily trim a few $Billion off of the military budget, as well as rein in golf outings that our royalty
are taking on a very, very regular basis, at great taxpayer expense.
But we don't.
