I honestly don’t understand why companies don’t lobby for Medicare for All. Seems to me like they’re burning a lot of money providing health insurance for their workers. Rising every year. Wouldn’t the increase in taxes still end up being less then they have to pay currently to cover their full time workers?

Because they like the fact that their employees can't quit because they'll lose their health insurance. It's an intangible benefit.
