Whole Foods to cut health-care benefits for 1,900 part-time employees starting next year

[Moral Compass]

7. Perfect example of why we need to I institute Medicare for all

In normal countries health coverage is not linked to employment.

But here, it is.

I would be much happier with a system where my coverage was paid for by taxes paid into Medicare for all. If all of us were paying in taxes what we currently pay for our corporate health insurance we could cover the entire country—including the destitute, the part time workers etc.

The Medicare price schedule would rationalize pricing for medical care and drug prices. Healthcare and pharmaceutical companies would no longer be able charge whatever they think the market will bear.
