| Topic | Wouldn't it be cheaper to pay higher taxes for universal healthcare in America? |
| s0nicfan 07/24/20 4:08:08 PM #16: | Depends on the individual and how the money is raised. Companies generally pay for something like eighty or ninety percent of an employee's health care plan, so if you just raised people's taxes and switched to govt coverage, all you're actually doing is causing the middle class to pay significantly more for a worse plan and giving corporations insanely large indirect tax breaks. Oh, and the buying power of anyone with employee health insurance would go way down because there's no way their salary would be increased to fully compensate for the loss in benefits, so it would be the same as a a pay cut in the range of $10,000 or more. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
