Large and Mid-Size Corporate Heath Insurance Bill

[Jake]

How is it appropriate to force companies to take on the health care costs that the government is unwilling (and unable) to take responsibility for?

If you believe that universal health care is a fundamental right (or even something that simply should be in place), find some room in the budget for it however you can. Don't pass the buck to companies, because all y'all are going to do is make the market tank, big time.

Also, the idea of giving tax breaks to companies that do contribute to their employee's health care is also a poor one. It simply is a backdoor way of government funding an often convuluted and excessively bureaucratic system without "really" funding it.

I agree with your first and last paragraphs, however, the way to provide health insurance to all these people is not by forcing companies to pay for it. I reiterate, why should the government force businesses to do what they refuse to do?
