[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 853552, member: 17969"] When companies decide? That was decided a long time ago. Companies have ditched healthcare plans for employees for decades since Reagan was in office. The corporate structure in this country does NOT want to cover employees any longer. Each state passes laws that FORCES them to provide healthcare, and those companies do thier best to avoid the law. For example, states pass a law that says a company with 50 or more employees must provide healthcare for its workers and then the company then reduces staff below the marker of 50 to evade the law. States will then modify those laws and reduce the marker from 50 to 40 and companies then reduce staffing to 39. You dont have to be a financial genious to figure out if you dont provide healthcare for workers the bottom line then increases. There is nothing to decide, this speaks for itself. The problem is, that as each company throws its workers healthcare plans out the door, this countrys citizens are forced to file bankruptcy and that costs the rest of us in higher premiums as the healthcare system tries to recoup that money. You guys act like companies are ditching their plans only because of Obama. Health care for workers has been cycling out of the business model faster begining when the republicans took control of the house and senate during the bill clinton presidency. What is it about healthcare for americans that you dont agree with? Why if employers are attacking the healthcare of their workers do you side with the companies? Why dont you stand up for the american worker? Why is profit the only motivator for your opinions? Why do you sell out the american worker and defend an industry taking away jobs, salaries and healthcare from its workers? If the republicans had their way, they would end all healthcare provided by employers, they would end company provided pensions and contributions, they would lower wages, they would end the minimum wage, they would end the time and one half requirement for overtime, they would extend the working week to 50 hours at straight time versus 40 hours, they would employ illegals to fill positions if they would work for 2 bucks an hour. These are the principles of the republican party. They have tried each of these things and they will continue to try and pass these things. Everyone of these things is horrible for the american worker, Yet you and the others support this party despite its intentions that would be detrimental to you and the others. This is what I dont understand. Michele Bachman has been clear. She wants the minimum wage repealed, she wants the Fair Labor Standards act repealed, she does not believe in overtime pay, she does not believe in healthcare for employees unless they pay 100% for it. These are things that are detrimental for the american worker. This makes her an IDIOT, and if you side with these positions, then your intelligence is suspect. Peace. [/QUOTE]
