THE quintessential dwarf
Mighta meant million
Thanks. That’s a good read.
Take again the case of a secretary earning $50,000 in wage and currently contributing $15,000 through her employer to an insurance company. With universal health insurance, her wage would rise to $65,000 – her full labor compensation. With an income tax of 6% – which, if applied to a base large enough, would be enough to fund universal health insurance – she would have to pay about $4,000 more in tax. But the net gain would be enormous: $11,000. Instead of taking home $50,000, the secretary would take home $61,000.
That's an optimistic view of the behavior of employers. I highly doubt people will see a 1:1 correspondence in wage increase.

EVERY Dem candidate should make "surprise bills" the first law they would ask to be introduced. They are outrageous, immoral and should be considered bait and switch and thus illegal.
The penalties need to be extreme and after a certain number (as low as 3-5), executives at the facilities, the doctors and executives of the insurance company should be held criminally and personally, civilly accountable.
This should be a no brainer and should lessen fears about changing other aspects of healthcare.
ha yeah
just like the corporate tax cuts !
It should be a crime to not honor a contract that you aren't a party to?
They are part of the fraud.
My friend got a bill for coverage at a hospital in his network. The surprise was that the ER had been contracted to an outside source and he was billed. That's immoral and should be illegal.
The situation that CH explains should be illegal as well.
In any other business, it would be fraud. But keep defending these immoral acts perpetrating against the most vulnerable.
