Problems with Employer-Provided Health Insurance — The Employee Retirement Income Security Act and Health Care Reform

Abstract

A national approach to health insurance may require more political\nwill than alternative proposals, but it would be easier to live with and\nfairer to employees, employers, and everyone else than the current mix of\nlaws. Today's employer-provided health insurance has outlived its usefulness. \nIt is time to move toward a truly national system that provides health care\nfor all citizens, regardless of where or whether they work.
