I don’t understand most Republican ideas are about pocketing the money you earn and keeping it to better your own life?
Yeah but not at the expense of other benefits. In the long run, people make more by having company sponsored healthcare rather than getting paid more, taxed on the extra, then having to spend the same amount as your company for the same insurance coverage. It’s stupid and such a change would only benefit the government.
Now if you never had company healthcare that’s a completely different story and getting a bonus or tax credit to help cover it would be great but even that risks forcing already borderline companies into financial trouble. If you don’t earn your keep at work you can’t be upset when you get less for your labor.
