And do you really think they’ll pass that savings along to consumers or workers?
And what will the labor market do when millions of people from an entire cross section of America - from executives to HR to IT to call centers - are suddenly looking for a job?
And all those companies with all those retired folks invested in just disappear overnight; you think whatever party does this is gonna win the next election?
The entire system must collapse to make this happen. And it’s gonna hurt just about everyone.
If people not going bankrupt and dying because of treatable illness bothers you personally because you have a financial stake in their exploitation, that’s your moral failure.
It’s neat how they’re not numbers when you want to use them as human shields for a deeply immoral industry. They’ll be numbers again as soon as they get sick.
But the rest of industries would stop paying for expensive health insurances, having more money to manage their businesses.

No, they won’t pass that to the workers… But neither do that the health insurance companies.
The health insurers employ millions of people in the US.
That doesn’t make them good, just that there’s millions of people who will be really mad when the checks stop coming.

Yeah, all those people cleaning offices or answering phone calls at health insurance companies are all immoral pieces of shit.

I’m not defending the industry. The industry is bullshit. I’m pointing out that there are people who depend on it for food.
Now if we want to get into the immorality of jobs that’s a whole other discussion.
When they get sick, they’re numbers.
When you want to preserve your favorite industry, they’re conveniently and temporarily people.
why would they pass it, when the company is the one earning the profit/revenues?
