We already pay for healthcare, in a weird way -- through your employer via deductions from your paycheck (unless you are self insured). Why should your employer have a say in what kind of health insurance you get?
I wonder if people would look at it differently if they viewed their employer paid healthcare not as a benefit but as a deduction from their wages.
Some American's obsession with taxes has really led to some bad logic in some arenas. Let's take this scenario:
Scenario A: pay 10,000 in taxes and 6,000 in health insurance.
Scenario B: pay 13,000 in taxes and nothing in health insurance.
Some Americans would look at those scenarios and claim that Scenario A is better because it has lower taxes. I kid you not.
