The hue and cry for increasing the minimum wage is soley for the purpose of inflating wages to pay the insurance bill

Actually, the hue and cry for increasing the minimum wage was primarily for the purpose of sending more money to the union goons. Many union contracts are based on a multiplier of the minimum wage. When it goes up, so do the union contracts.
