Q: Do you know how much you or your employer pays for health insurance? What should an employer’s role be in a reformed health care system?

Response from in-person forum:
On average employers pay an estimated 25% of wage. Employer’s role should be gradually decreased then eliminated. Make employer-based insurance no longer tax-exempt; employer provided medical/dental insurance should be taxed like any other compensation.

I don't see any reason why health care should be associated with an employer.
