Employers in the U.S. bear a significant financial burden due to healthcare costs, making American businesses less competitive in the global market. The rising cost of employer-sponsored health insurance has led companies to reduce hiring, outsource jobs, or shift costs onto employees through higher deductibles and premiums.

A transition to a more equitable system—such as a single-payer model or tax-funded healthcare—could relieve businesses of these financial constraints. By alleviating employer obligations, companies could invest more in innovation, wages, and job creation, strengthening the economy as a whole.

Reforming the employer-based healthcare system is not just beneficial for businesses but for workers and consumers alike.
