School district of Philadelphia cancels contract with teachers union

I find it odd that my employer can manage to pay 100% of my health insurance premiums but Philadelphia can't do so for the people who educate their kids.

I find it odd that people think employers should have anything to do with health insurance.

Lol, really?

Yeah, really.  Why should employers be burdened by having to deal with selecting one or more health insurance plans their employees have access to?

So what are you proposing (if anything) in place of employer insurance? Pay raises in exchange for employees buying their own?

(Not trying to start a fight; actually interested in your response)

I think Ernest supports some sort of universal system...

 It would be rather illiberal to ban employer-sponsored insurance, but removing the tax advantages for going that route instead of giving employees more cash and having them buy their own insurance, should definitely be done.

Universal health care is a separate issue, and other than not having mandates that employers must offer health insurance, I'm fairly agnostic as the method used to reach that goal.
