More medical benefits from an employer would happen if they had tax breaks for them to make them more affordable. I own a small B and do give all my employees health care benef. Yet all I hear is how I should pay more in taxes and the 60mil people in america that pay nothing and get handouts are so hurting. 35% I guess is not enough of my income to pay.....should be %40 and then screw you rich guy, you get all the breaks. While we are at it lets give "universal" health care. It will only be another 5% raise in taxes over 40% on the "rich". 45% is not that bad. That way, every poor small company in America have to pay for all the lazy a$$es that dont do anythign for themselves.
And on the second point, if we shut the borders and had less people who have no ID, money, insurance, address.......ect, the emergency rooms would not be so crouded and you would get right in. Believe me, I have worked in them everywhere from San Fran to Boston. To try to say the answer is all about the "liberal ideals" is a joke. Any two year old could tell you that 5% of the population should not have to pay 45% of there income while 60mil pay nothing.
