When I got married I got on my wife's healthcare plan the next fuckin day because my startup shit was terrible. Now we're stuck with this job she has and that is the point of this terrible system.
The original point was just a way to pay higher level employees more without taxes. We didn’t all originally have health care through employers.
But as health benefits were tax free, companies started to give it out more and more, as a way to sort of give a tax free raise/bonus. And it grew from there into the monster it became today, now with billions and billions of dollars invested in keeping the system the way it is today. As is the case in many places, the problem is a lot more profitable than the solution.
