Look around. Most large corps are passing on more and more of the cost of healthcare onto the employee yet the CEO, etc is taking home more than ever before. Healthcare has become the new "cross the board pay cut" for all but the fat cats and unions who already have a contract. Of course all business loves the idea of providing zero healthcare and having the tax payer pick up the tab. I bet they'd love it if we picked up their federal income tax liability too....oh wait we already do that.
