Why would we have to make it aprt of the government and bury it in beauracracy? I find it much preferable to make it aprt of the expected package of benefits that come with employment.

Why should the availability of health insurance be determined by whether one is employed, or married to someone who is?
As for the market, employer-provided health care is, from what I understand, principally an historical accident resulting from certain tax advantages combined with low costs of providing such years ago. If it were inherently sensibile, why do most countries that provide health care provide it through the government rather than employers?
