Imagine a small business ( say a plumbing contractor with 6 employees) hiring an new employee and finding out that his family has two diabetics or someone with AIDS? Their Ins company would have to drop them like a hot potato.

If this plumbing contractor doesn't offer insurance to his employees, then this wouldn't matter.

It's pathetic that we've adopted such an entitlement mentality that we expect employers to cover the medical expenses of people who don't even work for them.

“If this plumbing contractor doesn’t offer insurance to his employees, then this wouldn’t matter.”

That is your answer to small businesses, don’t offer Ins to your employees?
