I believe the whole point of this is that employers are claiming they can no longer afford to be the providers of health insurance. And that may very well be true.

scaeagles' opinion notwithstanding, social security is routinely considered the best thing the federal government has ever done. I daresay a requirement that everyone be health insured which resulted in everyone having health insurance would be similarly popular, and similarly devised by the people FOR the people.


If it became a legal requirement for every working citizen to have such health insurance, employers would no more be the "gatekeeper" for that than they are now for social security.

I haven't heard any details of Hillary's plan ... but if part of the health insurance premium were to be paid by the citizen and part by their employer ... then the situation would be quite similar to social security vis-a-vis an employer's current right to require a social security number for prospective employees.
