13. Actually, ending employer-provided health insurance is a boffo idea.
And with single-payer it wouldn't be necessary anymore. Wages would go up to compensate, once the burden of dealing with health insurance was lifted from employers. I never understood why employers didn't get behind single-payer for that reason. Especially the ones moaning about not being able to compete with foreign companies b/c of having to pay for employees' health insurance.

The whole system has to change, though, not just parts of it.
