New congressional report says Wyden-Bennett health plan would pay for itself

Indeed employers, especially small and medium size would like the plan as it also costs money to administrate and negotiate with insurers...BD

The so-called Healthy Americans Act would replace the current employer-based health insurance system with a system in which the government requires, subsidizes, and oversees a system of private health care plans that individuals select. The coverage would be guaranteed to be as good as that which federal employees receive, and the government would subsidize health care for people up to 400 percent of the poverty level.
The plan is paid for in part by changes to the tax code, including a new tax on employers of between 3 percent and 26 percent. Wyden labels the tax "employer-shared responsibility payments" and notes that they would replace money employers now spend to provide private health insurance for their workers. The employer payments are expected to generate up to $100 billion a year in federal revenue.
"Employers like this plan, and the reason they like it is because it cuts their current and future health care costs," Wyden said.
