Dear Realism,

If you really want to depress employment, mandate employer-provided health insurance.

The question comes down to why should folks get their health insurance through their employers?

Frankly, if folks had to pay the premiums themselves, directly (rather than unwittingly have their wages reduced to pay for the premiums), folks would be up in arms at the costs of the current system. Maybe it might create some impetus for change.

folks would be up in arms at the costs of the current system.

This is precisely why the government continues to take a greater roll.
