This is easier said than done especially if you are in your mid fifties and the company you worked at for over 20 years is sold and you are downsized. There are not enough jobs with good benefits in the private and public sectors to go around even for the younger workers. The company I worked for also eliminated their pension and dental plans as well as doubling employee healthcare contributions for those who are left. Your comment seems almost like "Let them eat cake".

If you have to tax people who cannot afford their own healthcare and benefits in order to provide these benefits to others than they should be the last ones to get it.
