Employer Payroll tax. Employers don't have to worry about increasing salaries they can shift their current health benefits to the tax

Economists have been saying for years that one of our worst practices in the US is Health Care being tied to employers. Break the cycle.

I hear ya but I think it's a completely different system. If it's universal coverage, you won't be tied to the employer as people are today

Similarly to Medicaid / SS tax

Repeal the tax break given to companies for offering health benefits. Part of decoupling health insurance from work. All payor rate setting.
