Decoupling health care from jobs by instituting a Hillary-style, real universal healthcare plan would take a huge burden off of employers, which would be good at a time when many companies are weighing the benefits of office automation. Lowering the age at which people can receive Medicare to 50 or 45 might be another solution, because it would allow Medicare to be the first insurer for workers over those ages, in effect providing a subsidy which can account for up to 22% of the cost of hiring an older worker.
