One of the health care plans being considered proposes a fine of $750 per person for businesses that do not provide health care. Does Congress really think this would encourage more businesses to offer health care?
Currently it costs companies over $10,000 per employee to provide health care for employees. It would be more cost effective for these companies to pay the fine than it would be to provide health care. This proposed provision would actually result in companies dropping their work provided health care coverage. Perhaps this is the true purpose of this provision. People would loose their work health care plans and be forced into the government run plan that Congress seems to want. People would be forced into an inferior plan with fewer options and rationing.
NO GOVERNMENT RUN health care option should be in any Health Care Reform Bill.
