Thanks for sharing, I totally believe a 4-day workweek would be beneficial for individuals and totally believe that translates to better results in certain workplaces. I am not in any way against it. The link however doesnt seem to say anything about how that trsnslates to lower healthcare cost for the state, which is what this post is about - spending less tax money. Not saying i'm in favour of Frances solution though.

More studies are still needed but results this far are positive.

I doubt that, If having a day off would decrease healthcare expenses that much we would have a 4-day workweek by now.

That doesn't work as it will increase healthcare expenses. People need to have time to rest.
