I always thought it was insane that health coverage is tied to an employer. Whats to stop them from tying car coverage on employer as well? Rental insurance? Home? Flood?
Tying such vital things to an employer makes changing jobs - or worse unemployment - much more difficult than it already would be... which might be the point. Smaller companies have a harder time competing with larger ones capable of negotiating much more attractive insurance deals. Transnational giant companies run by strangers around the globe therefore have an advantage over small local domestic companies owned and operated by your neighbors. Globalists must love how well this system turned out for them.
Health insurance is tied to employment because of Congress.
During WWII Congress prohibited employers from raising salaries, you know, to support the war effort. So employers started offering more benefits instead of salary increases, including medical insurance.
Now it's enshrined in the tax code.
It's a great way to hide the completely inflated costs. If people had to pay/see the full cost of health insurance, many would simply say no way.
Yep, I have 25 employees. All of them get health care through my company and I pay for their full health care as a perk. It costs me around $1500-$2500 per month, per employee depending on which plan they choose.
People keep warning we are headed towards a globalist NWO - I would argue that we are already living in it. Ignorance is bliss but once awake you start to notice the rot and decay.
