Here is an interesting critique by Ezra Klein of the current, employer-sponsored health insurance system.
"There is no earthly reason for employers to control not just their workers' salaries, but their health security, too. There is no justification for a health system that dissuades would-be entrepreneurs from testing their brilliance, or unhappy laborers from striking out on their own, or disgruntled workers from leaving their positions. Nor is there a compelling rationale for forcing employers to assume the moral burden of providing medical coverage, or putting the generous employer at a competitive disadvantage because his competitor offers barebones coverage, or having GM pay more for health care than steel. On every level, in every way, the employer-based system is unjust, inefficient, and unwise. No plan that preserves it should be considered acceptable."
