Sorry, I beg to disagree with part of your screed: GOOD that biz is trying to get away from the healthcare debacle they’ve gotten themselves into (all because of gov’t meddling, as usual). They should cast off that mill stone from their necks at the earliest.
The GOP has been stupid (I’ll say compliant) in allowing the perversion of healthcare. They’ve never fought, if at all, in restoring the power to the USER instead of the middle-man; let alone mandating ‘basics’ in each plan (I know *I* don’t need drug abuse, phych or contraceptives...WHY am I paying for these??)
Though, I see this biting biz in the ass as the point of benefits were a relaxing of the pay-scale (income). If biz is no longer paying the employee ‘portion’, does the employee get that ‘raise’??
“does the employee get that ‘raise’??”
If I don’t I’ll quit immediately
