Struggling with Insurance Costs, More Companies Offer Employees Incentives to Get Healthy
The misconception that the "Employer" pays for health care insurance interfers with critical thinking about our health care crisis. Employee benefits are a cost of labor and come out of the employee's pocket, the same as unemployment, sick time, withholding taxes, etc. No worker, no cost of "health care" to the employer. Because of our tax structure, employers provide "access" to the health insurance paid by the employee. The employer does negotiate a benefit structure "on behalf of the employee" but should not be allowed to impose the employers personal biases or looney belief system on their employees. It is the employee's money (dedicated but tax free) and the employee's health plan. And, yes, Universal care would solve this problem in addition to a host of other issues. Want to learn more? See my web site: creativedesignforhealthcarereform "Dot" us - and read my book, Discovering the Cause and the Cure for America's Health Care Crisis. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/2…— April 25, 2012 8:45 a.m.
