Quote:Regarding the part in bold, why is that?

 

Either way, employers should not be required to offer health insurance, just like they aren't required to offer a retirement savings plan.  It all goes back to personal responsibility.

 

By the same token, having health insurance should not be mandatory by law.  It should be a personal choice.

To attract workers...Benefits are a huge part of why people take jobs, the more/better benefits you have, the better chance you have to retain employees rather than high turn over....

 

Most people are not self disciplined enough to save for retirement...It would end up costing the government a [BLEEP] pot full of money to support all of those who failed to save enough for retirement...The same goes for health insurance, most people can't afford it without the employer paying their part of it...
