3 PROVIDE A CHOICE OF PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PLAN
4. DO TAX HEALTH CARE BENEFIT
What are you guys CRAZY? I do not want to tax our benefits to pay for the government medical plan. We should be fighting for an overhaul of the private sector insurance & keep the government out of our lives.
Requirement on an employer to provide healthcare and is a rediculous gesture. For most companies that don’t provide healthcare may not have the means to do so. You signed on with that in mind. If you don’t like it find a better job. The government can’t step in and just start forcing such things. The companies are still going to want the same amount of profits. All it would mean would be more layoffs. I for one will not be encouraging such socialism to my congressman.
