Allowing US employers to make decisions about health care for their employees is a relic of the historical development of medical coverage in the US. It could be changed.

The article proposes a change in the way this funding is nominally structured, and nothing more; but there's another bad side effect of making each company pay for the health care of its own employees: it's an incentive to buy robots and fire employees.

I think should tax businesses based on their income, and use the money for (among other things) health care for all, whether employed or not.
