Sometime shortly after WWII corporation began to offer hospital benefits and then it fell apart. Instead of pointing fingers let's say organization/individuals got greedy and like programs that involving money people abused it and committed fraud and corporations began backing away.
The Unaffordable Act may well make the denial to smokers moot because everyone must be covered....except congressmen and women and unions
My comments concerning freedoms go beyond this thread. Its getting scary out there

Very good points made rubicon. Guess we are somewhat lucky what is said on here really doesn't make 2 cents worth of difference about what really happens. Gets really ridiculous to continue to pick on only 2 particular groups when there are so many more never mentioned. Drinking and all the related costs for one...
Once our new medical law is totally implemented we will see certain benefits restricted to those over a certain age as part of the program whether they admit it or not so we can all get ready. We should be worrying about the Medicare cuts being made rather than what employers are doing or not doing on their plans since basically none of us are employed anymore.
