There's a competitive market for labor, just like there is for apples. OAssHat just wants us workers to pay even MORE to support the stiffs (his peeps).

To keep the BEST employees..
In this labor market employees are not hard to find. People are applying for any job they are qualified for now. I suspect most are more worried about a pay check, then health insurance.

I can remember that being said for corporate pensions. Where are they today?
I work for a large technology company. Over the past 10 years, good or bad, my health insurance has gone up in cost and down in service. Either a bad economy, or in good times the threat of one, was the reason.
Their stated objective for benefits is to be "at parity" with the industry trends. As soon as some percentage of the "industry" drops or lowers something, they do. Even if we are not under financial stress (this happened one year which happened to be the company's largest revenue performance ever).
The latest twist from a couple of years ago: If I add my spouse (paying the full, unsubsidized rate for her mind you), I will also have to pay a penalty if she was eligible for health insurance at her work. It does not matter if the insurance offered at her place of work is sub-par. The penalty alone is > $1400 annually.
You tell me they won't drop health coverage as soon as anyone else does.
