  • well,if we take as an example the UAW's foot-on-the-neck of the Big 3 and the damper that their demands for paid health care for 400,000 retired workers has put on them,Id say THAT'S why companies don't provide it...it just costs too damn much...is it good?..no,probably not...but then,if you feel you HAVE to have health care as an employment concession,go look for a company that offers it....stand on your rights....only work for a providing company..dont accept second best...by golly,you have rights....good for you....

  • Many American employers can no longer afford to offer health insurance benefits. Health care costs in this country are ridiculous. This is in part the result of medical advances which prolong life in ways that we couldn't have imagined even twenty years ago.

    I don't think that the lack of health insurance benefits is beneficial to citizens or society as a whole. However, it's begs the question: what do we do about the lack of benefits? The answers to that question bring up whole sets of new problematic questions.

    I don't know that the lack of health insurance benefits with jobs cause society at large to become less healthy. I think that, if there is a decline in health in the society at large, it has more to do with lifestyle choices such as a lack of exercise and poor diet which causes obesity and heart disease. However, I think it should be remembered that our life expectancy now is much higher than it has been historically. For example, when FDR and Co. decided to set the age for retirement at 65, it was because almost no one actually lived that long and people who did were almost incapacitated by virtue of the fact of having done so.
