TO THE EDITOR:

Our employer-based health care system may have worked in the ’40s and ’50s, but it does not work now. It is stifling small business, progress, and innovation by trapping too many people in dead end jobs just for the insurance, and discouraging wellness with useless, high-deductible plans. I support Bernie Sanders’s plan. Health care needs to be a public service for all Americans. I would gladly pay higher taxes for a reliable, simple, universal health care plan that would stay with me for life no matter where I chose to work. No more deductible, networks, hassles, or surprise medical bills.
