Do the employers then pay for Medicare?


Why would they?

I think their point is this would help solve the principal agent problem so consumers can shop for service.


I see. Except Medicare isn’t currently an option for most people employed. I think there are some benefits to employer sponsered healthcare, particularly with large employers who can negotiate lower prices. But I’m not sure it’s better on balance.
