That money black hole hits companies too. A $50k/year job typically can't throw in $60k in healthcare benefits.

A small company can use a PEO like Rippling (a YC company) where employees are “co employed” with the actual company and for taxes/HR/benefits with for Rippling. It’s not like contracting. Everyone from the CEO down is “co employed”

It really is.

The US saw an average of $14,885 per-capita healthcare costs in 2024. Higher now.

My guy, congress can't even remove valid bad actors who openly lie to and threaten them. They will never fix any problems except their "light" pocket book

Trump rather likes handing out cash, as long as he can put his name on it. Maybe as long as congress agrees to call it TrumpCare.
