The problem is that the employers want to get out of the health care business. They claim it makes them less competitive in the global economy.
so we should help them do that, is that it?
companies are finding their own balance on healthcare - sharing costs with employees through co-pays and higher deductibles. LEAVE THEM ALONE. there is no reason for government to stick its nose in there with some new tax. you can't fix the health care system, by taxing it.
