Darrell,

Well....I guess you could say that. But if that had not happened
I would think that wages today would be higher in an amount
equal to the employers health care costs.

For the worker, health care is a cost of doing business just
like food, clothes, shelter...you gotta have it. Just as any business
will raise their prices to cover costs...overhead...so would a
worker. You, (the employer) are going to pay one way or
the other. Just as consumers of your product are going to pay
your overhead.

Or maybe you would prefer slavery?
