Personally, though, I think the US labor law system needs a dramatic overhaul. A lot of the costs (health insurance, etc) should be socialized. i.e. insurance for all, funded by a % income tax.

At current total income and current medical spending it would have to be approximately 20% gross income tax. I don’t know that the population could stomach that big of an increase. I suppose you could try to play the social security game where the employer picks up the other half. The real issue is the cost side. Obamacare for the most part attempts to throw more money at the problem rather than actually reducing costs.
