Here’s a thought that might blow your mind…I personally don’t believe businesses should be involved in the provision of health insurance at all. Why make businesses responsible for that kind of expense??? My personal view is that everyone should pay into a single payer national health insurance program where insurance premiums are negotiated with private insurers and supplemented by the tax revenues paid into the system pay those who benefit from it. Everyone should have to pay something toward their health insurance. Right now if I didn’t have insurance I could go to the ER and get treatment. They would bill me. I could simply refuse to pay. Now, consider that there are over 10 million or more of me…that would fuel the rise in health care cost as providers increased costs to cover the loss. As health care costs rise…insurers have to raise premiums to cover those costs. Now YOU the business owner is found stuck paying more or handing more of that cost to the backs of your hard working employees. I say take you and your business out of the equation and let you focus on business. Negotiate rates with companies and then have everyone pay a lower negotiated premium and taxes into the system so all are covered. As providers are actually paid in a timely manner the cost of healthcare would drop exponentially. Not to mention a national medical records database would reduce health care costs 30%.

National health insurance would make health insurance an issue between the voters and their elected representatives. As a business man…you don’t even have to worry about nothing but business.
i am sorry. i got to the end of your first comment... which was a rude personal attack and decided to not read this.
