Employers could stop having to provide Healthcare as a benefit. They would save billions of dollars. People who run small businesses could find affordable insurance--it would open opportunities to people who would like to start a business but can't due to the high costs of insurance.

And we could probably eliminate medicaid. We wouldn't need it if everyone qualified for Medicare. There is simply not a good reason not to do this.
