Would you rather have fewer people working full time? And where does this idea that employers are somehow responsible for an employees healthcare come from? I know that a lot of companies have provided health insurance over the years, but is that really their responsibility?

Companies need profits. Even non-profit entities need more revenue than expense to expand (think hospitals). Healthcare and the legacy costs hamper pofitability on one hand and on the other employees are tethered to a large degree to a company because of the provided healthcare. We need to join the rest of the industrialized world and provide true universal health coverage. I think we are heading there; the sooner the better.
