9. he's full of crap, of course. plus, if he wanted to cut pizza prices, he'd lobby for single payer.

if we had medicare for all and finally broke the INCREDIBILY STUPID public policy of tying health coverage to employment, then papa john's and other employers wouldn't need to pay anything at all for employee health insurance. they'd be out of that non-core business entirely (unless they wanted to offer some sort of supplementary insurance as an extra benefit).

then, he per employee-costs would be lower, and so he could hire more people and lower the cost of his pizzas.

but of course he's not pushing for that, he's just using his access to a microphone to spout stupid political views at the expense of his employees, investors, and franchisees.
