Keep in mind that the cost of living is already very high due to many factors. Raising the minimum wage will further increase those cost and could raise the cost of living even more.


This is no longer universally-accepted truth, sure raising minimum wages during peak union times had this effect, but right now there are examples to the contrary. Australia is one example. I am sure there are more. My understanding is that you can't raise minimum wage to prosperity for everyone (i.e. 50$/h minimum will cause inflation), but you can to lift most out of abject poverty.

I dislike notion of employer-sponsored health coverage, businesses should focus on doing what they are good at, and unless you are insurer or a hospital that would not be providing health care coverage.
