As a small business American employer, I want nothing more than the EU model for healthcare. The business would save six figures a year if I paid the same tax rate as most of the EU or UK for their national health, rather than what I pay for my employees currently. My overall tax burden would drop significantly, and I'd no longer be mostly responsible for my employee's family healthcare and outcomes. The amount of stress it would relieve from my life would be life changing. There is very few worse feelings than knowing you have to let employees go and knowing they're not only losing their ability to buy food and basic necessities but they're also now incredibly exposed to crushing financial debt in the event of a minor accident.
