Making The Employer Pay, And Pay, And . . .

Coyote Blog highlights the degree to which politicians are forcing health care expenses onto business.  The owner of Netflix illustrates.

So, here I am, having risked absolutely everything I own, having gone without salary for three years, and I am now being told that if I hire somebody, and he gets married in Vegas while drunk, then gets a divorce the next day, I’ve got to cover the bimbo into the next decade? (Feel free to add in the gender-reversed variation of that, as well - I’m equally appalled that I might have to pay for an employee’s ex-husband’s meds)....

Business shouldn't have to pay for our health care and neither should the government.  We should each be responsible just as we are for feeding ourselves.  Yeah, it's expensive but so's food, buying cars, houses, wide-screen TV's and cellphones.   If government didn't keep finding patsies to buy it for us under threat of ruin, we'd suck it up and take care of the matter ourselves.
