> The real answer is for government to make employer sponsored health insurance "optional."
The real answer is not to acknowledge employer sponsored health insurance at all, and to treat it (tax it) just like every other form of compensation. Its current treatment is a nearly 100 year old remnant of attacks against unions. If you stop the giveaway to employers, employee-provided health insurance would evaporate, and the government would be forced to take rational action on healthcare provision and costs.
Health insurance is as much of a scam as casino gambling, and should be regulated out of existence.
