First of all let me state that I politically support moves that will see greater healthcare coverage of the general population, and that also rewards companies who help in providing this coverage.
However, I am compelled to ask what the constitutional justification for this legislation is, in particular section 1 (section 2, being a tax break, is IMO justified). Certainly it would have been justified under the Public Interest Amendment as a protection of those in employment, but the Senate in it's infinitesimal wisdom rejected that proposal.
Pending an adequate constitutional justification being presented, I will unfortuantely have to vote against this bill.
