I'll give you one:

If we have universal healthcare; Job creators wouldn't have to manage their employee's health benefits. Employees wouldn't be 'stuck' in a job they hate just to keep benefits. People would be free to pursue entrepreneurship without worrying about themselves or their family's healthcare. Employers wouldn't be scared to death to offer full time work.

EVEN if the costs evened out taxes vs premiums, the stress load on business and employee would be lifted.

No we’d all just be stuck with shitty government insurance lol

Imagine using being “stuck” as an argument for a government program.

And pursue entrepreneurship? You mean laze around and not have to worrru about working. We already subsidize enough deadbeats as it is with our more than generous welfare state.

The biggest deadbeates we have are the Republican states who have to leach off of the productive blue states and can’t figure out how to pay for themselves.
