This isn’t an entirely terrible proposal. Walmart and other companies have abused Medicaid and other programs as a way to cut costs and not have to shoulder the responsibilities of providing benefits to workers.
It’s probably not the best way to go ahead with confronting the corporate welfare.
I agree. Either we are stuck with government laundering money to pass out for votes, or the possibility of higher prices. I’ll go with door number two.
No, the fault, as always, lies with government interference in the market. Government involvement in health care and insurance made it too expensive for companies to provide these benefits. If there were a true free market in health care and insurance, costs would not have skyrocketed and there would be more and better options.
Also, people who work at lower paying jobs ought to be looking at ways to improve themselves and get a promotion or a new job. If this silly bill were to pass, it would cause more unemployment and increase the cost of goods.
Every time government attempts to help, it makes things worse.
Who says it’s their responsibility?
If we, as conservatives, truly believe in self responsibility, and do not believe that the government should not be providing these benefits using taxpayer provided taxes, then why is it ok to believe that it should be a requirement that the Employer provides these benefits?
