Hey, if the employee is on his wife's policy, it's an easy way to pick
up savings and burden someone else's business. God forbid the wife
loses her job or the company makes her pay for her spouse and kids.
Froggie will find a new employee without health problems or one with a
sugar mama who comes with insurance.

Not giving a crap about your employees health isn't scummy like
failing to pay taxes or blow jobs.


Business (other than health insurance companies) should not be in the
health insurance business, either as a provider or an administrator of
a group plan. Period. They are forced to be under the current system
in order to be competitive in terms of benefits. I designed and built
thin film vacuum deposition systems for optics. What do I know about
current health insurance programs, or what is best for individuals and
their families? Very little, yet I was forced to choose and employ
people just to administer the program. I think people should be able
to choose their own plan and coverage, depending on their individual
needs. The cost of premiums for individual plans should be part of
the employee's compensation package.

But it isn't.

Why don't the unions provide health insurance for their members? And,
don't give me this crap about the different kinds of unions. You can't
be a half way advocate for the working man who carries a hammer and a
full advocate for the working man who carries a wrench.

The unions are just looking to siphon off as much money from the working
man as they can to make sure that the union bosses can live a nice
lavish lifestyle.
