Quote:Not true. Healthcare as a benefit started in response to government caps on wages.


Moreover your employer doesn't pay for anything. Your total compensation package is just that. The match on ss 401 employer contributions for health premiums etc. Are all part of the budgeted compensation to pay a position. If the employee can't produce enough to justify the expense they are terminated. Employers aren't piggy banks.

Im in a union our contract reads that union employees shall only pay 11% of the total premium and the employer shall pay the other 89%

I did a quick search the other day on the ACA site and could find nothing affordable that was useful...I dont know why people want to argue that people can afford it on their own when they cant
