$13,500 per year. That’s the cost of an average employer-sponsored health insurance plan–money that could have gone into your paycheck.
Ezra Klein reminds us that “health-care coverage is not a benefit. It’s a wage deduction.” And the deduction of your income went to buy something your boss your his HR department–not you–picked out.
Putting Congress in his place is no improvement.
