Well, why not? Drives down costs for company and others in the group. Wonder what the price tag will end up being? They always lowball the price whenever a new plan is suggested. So we already know itll be higher then they said it would be when ohnocare was first voted on.

It use to be a point of evaluation when you went for employment as to how good their health care benefits were. You could decide for yourself if the healthcare (typically great for large corporations) was worth the lower salary than maybe a smaller company that would give you a better take home.

Now we just have to make it all the same for everyone, otherwise we are being unfair.

What is next - we all have to drive the same car, wear uniforms...probably not- but it does make you stop and wonder where we are heading.

Maybe DEVO was right "Freedom of choice Is what you got - Freedom from choice Is what you want"
