I prefer Bernie saying up front we will have a tax increase for MFA, but
overall out health care expenses will be less. Warren's way hides the
increase through employers and our wages, which could affect them
reducing full-time employment.
"Instead of taxing a certain percentage of an employee’s pay (a payroll
tax), Warren’s head tax would charge employers a flat amount no matter
the employee’s salary. Seeing as any employer-side tax ultimately comes
out of workers’ potential earnings, this is a regressive approach that
would disproportionately impact low- and middle-income workers. And not taxing employers who use independent contractors also could
backfire in a big way—by giving employers an incentive to reclassify
their workers away from full-time status and the ability to get benefits
in the first place."
