EconProf: assuming a moderately well-run “Medicare for all” system, the question isn’t whether taxes would increase. The question is whether the average tax increase will be less or greater than the average person or company currently pays (per employee or person) for health care. Being able to pawn “benefits” off onto the government (i.e. “buy in” to Medicare for their employees for a known % of their income) and not have to deal with the shitshow known as benefits management would actually make life easier for a lot of employers.
I don’t presently live in CA, but if it gets passed, I’ll be on a plane the next day. Not having to worry about private insurance is a Godsend and one less thing to stress on.
