Just read a poll thread about healthcare and this question popped into my mind. Since most Americans get their health insurance through their employers, if a single payer system was developed where people had healthcare whether they worked or not, what's to stop them from saying, "I quit"? Isn't employer based healthcare an incentive to work? Would it increase social programs for those who had no incentive to work any more? If less people worked, less taxes would be collected, which would fund the single payer system and those social programs as well. Would the national debt skyrocket? What say you? Obviously, I voted yes.
