I was just watching the video from this post when I thought if we get out of this healthcare pickle (we will) how can we prevent this from ever happening again? this being companies making power grabs at the expense of people's health.
I was thinking that any vaccine has to be voluntary. No vaccine requirements period. Also, vaccines cannot be patented.
Am I thinking too small? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Corporations would cut the benefits and then refuse to pay workers more, let alone paying the worker the full costs of former insurance premiums. It would end up with workers paying even bigger percentages of their income for health insurance. But I agree that health insurance shouldn't be coupled with workplaces, it does stop people from changing jobs or careers, or trying to run their own small business, or try something new at all because they need the precious health insurance provided by the workplace. Just continuing to take advantage of workers.
