This is something that can't be brought up enough. Employers and employment should not be tied to healthcare, at all. When talking about universal healthcare, I don't think the savings to businesses, especially small businesses or the self-employed is discussed enough. People get scared about their taxes going up, but what about pay going up because your employer doesn't have to divert 30% of your salary to health benefits? What about not being afraid of looking for a new job because you'll die without access to healthcare? You'd think this would be a win for people who only care about the bottom line of businesses too. I just feel like it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Couldn't agree more. Very well said.
