Why would any employer want to hire people who are prone to sickness or injury?
Ah, the only way it could get more socialist than the heavily exploited shell game that it already is.
I would expect any company doing business with the public to do whatever it could to keep sick people away from customers, and each other.
My husband is covered under my family policy at work. Two years ago my parent company requested his life time medical records. I was told they were considering a new insurance company and needed to see information on his cancer prognosis and treatment. I was the only one in our office of 30 people to be required to do this - also the only one with a covered person having a serious disease. I called my lawyer thinking they had violated my privacy by looking at my Dr. bills to know he had cancer and that I surely couldn't be required to give them more than 50 years of his medical files. I was told I didn't have to give them the records but that to be realistic, if I didn't, they would find a way to get rid of me. I compromised and gave only the records since the onset of his cancer. Still tics me off.
Why have health care provided by a company at all? There is only one reason: Because, having hired and trained a worker, it is helpful to the company if that worker stays healthy and shows up for work.
So, if the only reason to provide health care is to keep your workers healthy, why wouldn't you start by hiring people that will stay healthy?
In my experience, bad health or medical problems is NOT a good filter. The majority of the chronically absent are absent for headaches, colds, hangovers, or just plain don't-feel-like-it.
Socialist are idiots. They are losing. Now they have to attack companies because they have such a hard time attacking governments.
The sounds like they want people to use their sick leave rather than come in and spread their germs.
