Relieving Corporations of the Responsibilities of Offering Health Benefits

Actually, I'm using hefty sarcasm to make a point. The very bill you are defending does exactly what I said here. Nowhere does it require an employer to continue offering health benefits. Nowhere does it say that an employer can't make "the public option" part of their benefits package. Actually, now that I think of it, there is one stipulation to that effect. It does allow union shops to maintain any benefits gained through collective bargaining. But any company that isn't unionized is free to throw employees to the "public option" as they wish.
