It'd be cheaper and easier for everyone if we had single payer, and employers could just hire the best person for the job for how ever many hours that job needed to be worked. Employers shouldn't have to compete with each other through benefits packages, and employees shouldn't be handcuffed to employers for health insurance. Both employee and employer get hurt in our current system and it leads to a lot of needless animosity. It's also more expensive in the long run to have every company paying administrative costs towards a bunch of different insurance companies.
We may disagree on who is screwing us, but we can all agree on the fact we're getting screwed.
Actually this makes the most sense because how it is now isn't really working. One of the most simple sayings that has stuck with me since I read it (and from nesalk of all people), ,"a broken arm shouldn't have to bankrupt you". This is so true. If any of you saw just a sliver of my medical bills, you'd sh*t your pants(thank God I have excellent ins.). Dialysis aside, a simple trip to a dr of mine for an outpatient surgery I have to have done about every six months is 18K, and thats only him, I think grand total for that whole trip is about 21K.
My broken hip was about 40 K I beleive, and I'm still doing therapy.
