Not if everyone starts doing it. If enough companies dump healthcare, it will start a stampede.

And the plan was to raise taxes on the workers, not the corporations. Short sighted isn’t it.

“If enough companies dump healthcare, it will start a stampede.”

The Stampede will be towards a single payer - socialized system. Which is not what neither of us wants.

We need to bring costs down by introducing more competition into health care.

Their is very little competition between health insurance companies, in fact they are basically a cartel. They have lobbied government to make so many rules and regulations that has reduced competition.

The AMA restricts the number of doctors. (less competition).

Lawsuit reform.

Illegal Immigration-free health care.

Could go on and on.

The point is that if health care wasn’t so expensive it would not be a point of contention between employers and employees. (As it is becoming).
