it should be, and it needs to be if we ever want to fix this problem, but it'll be political suicide for anyone that even says this out loud. corporations would be all for it to.

(majority of) people with jobs have no idea how bad/expensive healthcare really is. they have excellent insurance coverage and they pay very little for it. if we make them responsible for buying their own it'll be impossibly expensive. but this is exactly what they need to realize so that we can have the political movement to overhaul the entire system

"they pay very little for it."

That belief is the problem. You pay for it with reduced salary. Problem is that this fact is being hidden. Then you also have your employer choose insurance plans for you but their selection criteria are most likely for their own benefit.
