End the Tax Exclusion for Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance The tax code threatens workers with $352 billion in taxes unless they let their employers control $1 trillion of their earnings.

Making health care as universal as possible means ending the #TaxExclusion for ESI. One way is to repeal the taxes that give rise to it.

But there are other ways, that would make the tax code and health care more efficient and equitable.

Otherwise, households could purchase secure, affordable, cradle-to-grave coverage.
