Interesting -- even a tiny, isolated state couldn't make this work and acknowledged it is a budgetary disaster.

A state official said families were dropping private coverage so their children would be eligible for the subsidized plan.

 

Gee, who could have foreseen that? :thumbsup:

"People who were already able to afford health care began to stop paying for it so they could get it for free..."

 

On another note... What is the difference if say Wal-Mart in TN pays depressed wages and then says to the worker: "You can always get gov't aid to bridge the gap."

 

Companies that can afford to pay employees benefits, yet do not.

 

I guess if the individual makes the choice on what is cost effctive... It doesn't float... If a business does, it is quite all right.
