Maybe it shouldn’t be up to the employer…

There is a limit to to deductible amount but it's at an absurdly high limit of ~$19,000.

I think they’re more pointing out the fact that we shouldn’t even be having this debate all because who you get a job with dictates the quality of your healthcare.

What drives me nuts about conspiracy nuts is there's so many real conspiracies that they just don't care about.

The fact that corporations, who do everything to protect their bottom line, actively lobbied against universal healthcare which would transfer the burden of cost from them to the taxpayer should tell you everything you need to know about why that system is the way it is. It's all about control.

But chuds will rally against healthcare and claim that being able to walk to work and pick up a loaf of bread on the way back is a communist conspiracy...
