Now your argument,,to pay people more. That's not possible. Our payroll is already at the top of the scale on the P&L. If anything we should be looking for ways to reduce payroll costs. Do you think that plastic dropped in price this year? It didn't.
Do you think our customers are just going to pay us more for things they can buy in China for less? They won't
I don't think anyone is saying the employer should front the whole bill. The problem is we are already fronting the bill for people with no insurance.

We either pay it on the front side or the back, but trust me, tax dollars are already spent for this..

You want a better solution? There is only one and that's if we socialize it and all medical cost are covered by the state. Yea know just like those freedom hating europeans do it. Worse yet how that evil dictator Castro does it in Cuba.

Of course that can never happen n MERICA.
