Since employer-provided healthcare insurance is currently considered compensation, if you remove it from being employer-provided, you are lowering employee compensation, as the employers will not be paying out for the insurance plan, and will be paying an additional tax instead. Since the employee is not receiving this compensation directly, their paycheck will stay the same; however, their benefits of health insurance will be limited to what the government decides to give them - they will not be given the equivalent compensation in salary to purchase their own insurance.

You claim that employer-provided health insurance is an inefficient solution; however, facts do not bear this statement out as truth. Government-managed Medicare/Medicaid is hardly a prime example of efficiency, and is known to be less efficient than private insurance. You will need to use a different argument, not efficiency.
