Show AllEvery US employer, however remotely competing with foreign producers, must do so with the added burden of employee health insurance. Let's pay for it with tax funds and even the playing field. This would be a tremendous incentive to start a business or hire additional employees.
Single Payer is what makes the most sense, is what is supported by most Americans and is the basis of all the countries that have better health results than the United States.
Every argument made and more than a few that are not are arguments against any system that a third party gatekeeper is paid to lower access and have that be the primary manner that they are able to make money.
There is just no way an Insurance company can prosper in an arrangement except by that.
