I'm aware that HN frowns on "THIS", but...THIS!!!

I don't know what the best solution for the current healthcare clusterfuck in the US is, but I think disassociating health insurance from employer/employment is a great first step.

As a business owner yes please! Charge me a flat insurance tax. And then give everyone insurance. It’s such a cluster.

Improving coverage and acceptance by plans in the marketplace would be a good start. Multiple healthcare providers only accept plans from an employer or the state, not individual plans bought in the marketplace. Crazy that in a pro-business country, if you have your own business or you're self-employed, you can't have access to healthcare
