View submission: Thoughts on how to accomplish this?
Chaining healthcare to employment chains the working class to their job. Without that chain, workers would have far greater freedom to seek out work that is best for them and their family. Workers would be free to switch employers midyear without thought to money already spent on their deductible.
Universal healthcare (or Medicare-for-All) would help unchain us.
Shifting responsibility to workers and unions is capitalist misdirection. The only solution is federal policy guaranteeing universal healthcare.

"Only solution" is not a solution.
Don't let Best be the enemy of Good. Medicare for All is best, but we won't get that anytime soon. If people can get medical thru their Unions NOW, that is good. AND it helps incentivize union membership.
Don't let a theoretical future prevent fixing problems now.

Everyone knows this. Unfortunately that’s not happening anytime soon.
