Business Coalition for Single Payer Healthcare The complete solution to health care, Now!
An Improved Medicare-for-all system provides business with many benefits:
It reduces labor costs by 10-12% (a 3.3% additional tax on wages* versus today's 10-15% of wages for medical insurance).
It reduces liability and auto insurance costs.
It reduces worker compensation costs, likely by half.
It eliminates health benefits management costs and yearly insurance company and labor contract negotiations for health care.
It creates healthier personnel and more employee stability, reduces absenteeism, and eliminates employer health system complaints.
It reduces the need for part-timers, and provides easier recruiting (no pre-existing disease or COBRA issues).
It eliminates employee health-related debt and personal bankruptcies.
It will expand the U.S. economy and business climate by freeing up family income to purchase new products and services.
