It’s a double whammy because the employer gets to deduct 100% of their contribution but the little guy buying it on the open market has to use post tax dollars.

Which is _bullshit_. Everyone should be able to deduct their out of pocket premium costs.
Or better yet, nobody.

This is probably a better idea. No hidden costs to any one. Employers would either lower salaries in America, or stop covering insurance.
When the cost of healthcare is visible, maybe then the majority who have employer provided insurance would then fight with the minority of us who use the marketplace, and shoulder the entire burden of the price.
