when a job came with "benefits" and those benefits included health care. The employee was loyal to the employer and worked hard for that employer--the "marriage" was strong and lasted.

Then something happened. This loyalty on the part of both, suddenly disappeared. Suddenly, people were laid off in favor of cutting costs--suddenly employee loyalty and the willingness to do a good job for the employer--just disappeared.

Now it is obvious, this has totally gone out to the dump with the rest of the garbage. It is every man for himself, including the employer. The two are contradictions--they are pulling against each other. There is no connection and one will screw the other when given the chance. It is truly a brutal way that is so very different from what it used to be.

Why should you give health care to your employees? Beats me! Screw em--they are nothing to you and you are nothing to them--chances are , though, that you are making a great deal more money off their labor than they are making being under your jurisdiction and control.
