We do need to find a way to decouple health care from employment, it’s one reason why so many people in their late 40s, and 50s have a hard time finding work, companies don’t want to bear the health insurance costs that come with older workers.

Agreed. It should never have been allowed in the first place.

Why employers got a write-off while private parties and the self-employed did not is one of those "equal protection before the law" goodies I've never really understood. If corporations are "persons" they can live like the rest of us.
