Why the US is the only country that ties your health insurance to your job
Nobody would build a system like America’s on purpose.

Nixon did that
No he didn't....this is from WWII and it unfortunately stuck around. Companies would love if they didn't have to deal with it. It's why so many of them hated the Obamacare and try to keep people part time.
There are actually videos of him doing it.
Lol what the fuck are you talking about? Do you think that Nixon waved his hand and said all companies are responsible for providing insurance to their employees? A video...lol what???
Like any president Nixon got on the phone with his friends on the hill to get a bill rolling. A film crew was there at the time. The Nixon library should have the clip. Truman wanted to create a single payer system and failed. Ike moved no heath care legislation. Kennedy died but set the ground work for Medicare which Johnson finished. Nixon did this.
Did you even read your own link? It clearly points out that this began during WWII...
"Truman wanted to create a national health insurance fund run by the federal government (a pre-Medicare single-payer system). "
A single payer system is not an employer offered system. It's Medicare.
