Living in Denmark, it's always so odd for me when health insurance is somehow connected to your job... Why?

Health is needed for anyone, both people who work and not. Why it only makes sense for everyone to have access for it, and everyone paying for it over taxes.

Keeping it connected with work is poodle giving the employers more power than they should have - they should not have any power over healthcare.

Why? To make workers fearful. Fearful people are less likely to protest or unionize.

Close, but nah.

Privatized healthcare makes it more expensive.
