When "Guest Workers" are used the Employers will have to offer health care.>>>>>


Yes, employers will have to *offer* it, but that doesn't mean employees have to take it.

We have a large 'retailer's' warehouse in our area, that is fast becoming majority hispanic. My girlfriend (wks payroll office) says the 'retailer' loves hiring the hispanic's because very few sign up for insurance. This saves the Co. at least 3K per year per employee.

Quite a yearly savings, since many say this co. employs at least 500K that DO NOT have insurance.

If the Govt. does not require the Guest workers to show financial responsibility it won't fly and since the employer will benefit from from the cheap labor they should be held to account. .

Very good point. Why pay $200/month for insurance when your free ER is just a few blocks away?

Thanks.
