In fact, companies shouldn't be in the business of being health care

At one time health care was a fringe benefit offered by employers to
attract and retain good people. What happened to that concept?

One word...unions.

What a ninny.
If only 8 percent of American workers belong to unions, how come they have
such a great influence?



You have to understand that Herring hid from reality most of his adult
life by staying in the army, and that his opinions were formed in a
simple society in which one always knew one's place. As a substitute
teacher, he may have been a member of a teacher's union, but assuredly
he wasn't an active member, and probably only paid minimal dues so he
could suck down the fringe benefits the union negotiated for all teachers.

In other words, Herring was a bloodsucker. He still is. He's living off
the taxpayers now, and so is his wife.
