Quote of the Day: Milton Friedman on employer provided health coverage

Thu, 11/12/2009 - 4:00pm | posted by Jason Pye

“We have become so accustomed to employer-provided medical care that we regard it as part of the natural order. Yet it is thoroughly illogical. Why single out medical care? Food is more essential to life than medical care. Why not exempt the cost of food from taxes if provided by the employer? Why not return to the much-reviled company store when workers were in effect paid in kind rather than in cash?” - Milton Friedman, from “How to Cure Health Care”
