We currently provide our employees with health insurance.. It is now our biggest expense next to payroll. We give it priority over every other expense including my weekly paycheck. ( I am an officer and part owner).
I wonder if - instead of a tax credit for health care - the government would give every family a $10,000 tax rebate check to use for health insurance. How many people out there would actually use the money for the insurance ?
How many people would go out and buy another car, big screen TV, season sports tickets, and at the end of the money start sqeeking again for health insurance again ?
I am tired of both parties ignoring the personal responsibility aspect of all our financial problems. Neither political party wants to give this the attention it deserves.
