You’ll note most of my commentary centers around employee provided health insurance. That’s because it’s the outlier. Other countries have similar systems to ours on the provider, Medicare & Medicaid side. Employee provided insurance is, as far as I know, unique. And it’s a dramatically stupid way to fund health care.

Further, it’s a less dramatic thing to change. We’ve already been through a much more impactful change in living memory in the form of moving away from pensions.

My position is that changing that are of funding brings price transparency to the biggest segment of the population & it derisks the migration.

It's not clear to me how it does that.
