Large and Mid-Size Corporate Heath Insurance Bill

[Yates]

I am concerned that this bill oversteps government's boundaries, yet I admire its intentions.

Senator Hawk was correct, in my opinion, that this health care plan should be voluntary for companies.  To require companies to pay for this would be crossing the government's line, and, as Governor Festoon stated, would result in an economic downturn because of the sheer number of employees who would be fired.

[Yates]

Nay.
