Thanks for this info, Fitz. Don't believe I was aware of it. Looks like we're on the right track!
Yes -- in the past I would have been against the requiring of employers to provide insurance --- but because of the availability of very cheap labor --- coming over by the semi-truck load, the new mentality is to dump the real costs onto taxpayers. "Anglo" businesses still commonly provide health insurance benefits and American citizens still take jobs which offer benefits over those which don't, but the hispanic businessman wants to operate like they did in Mexico -- and over there the government does it all (which isn't saying much).
I guess it shouldn't have been surprising -- hispanic leaders have been screaming about hispanics lacking access to health care because they lack insurance --- yet when one solution is to require hispanic businessmen to operate more like the non-hispanics and provide their hispanic workers some health insurance their true agenda comes out --- what they want is for their workers to have easy access to Medicaid. Socialism is their agenda.
So I'm with you --- as far as your imported cheap labor --- if you want to bring them in --- then you pay for them --- don't dump the cost of supporting them onto the tax payer --- the taxpayers are maxed out.
