Raise wages. Take health insurance off the bargaining table. When employers bargain, they offer a hard choice: reduce health benefits if you want even a minimal raise. They have to do this. The health care premiums are rising at double the rate of inflation and have been for years. With Medicare for All, employers can't do that and don't need to. Their portion of health care premiums are paid by a payroll tax, just like Social Security and Medicare is paid now. The total payroll tax for Medicare for All is less than the amount employers typically pay now in premiums.
