Blame the tax code - not the company. That is exactly right!
I was surprised to see it in The WSJ. Corporations, which explored American a few centuries ago and subsequently made this nation wealthy, are now synonymous with "bad guy." Very sad indeed.

I've been subscribing to the Journal for years and this is exactly the kind of story they like to run. There is something grotesque about private companies exploiting an insurable interest in employees' lives for financial gain. The Journal isn't trying to blame corporations for being motivated by a financial incentive provided by the tax code. They are merely pointing out a bizzare consequence of tax policy that would surprise and disgust most people.
