And, as I said the first time you posted this, how about continuing this to its logical conclusion - Medicare for all. Had I been given the option, I would have gladly paid into the medicare system rather than to private-sector racketeers for the past 30 years that I have been in business. My doctors would also have appreciated the reduced paperwork.
------------------------
This is indeed the logical conclusion, and recent history
confirms the correctness, i.e. medicare is up and running,
and while it would have required significant expansion to
cover the increased workload, most if not all of the
problems could have been avoided by progressive lowering of
the qualification age over 5 to 10 years.

The employer would also have greatly benefited as they could
have gotten out of the health care administration business,
and most likely their share of the medicare payments would
have been less than they are currently paying for health
insurance. Of course, there is the tax effect in that
currently the employer's contribution for employee health
insurance is a tax credit against their tax bill, while
medicare payments may be only a tax deduction against gross
revenues.

But everything considered, you appear to be right. We
attempted to cross the chasm in two small, safe jumps...
