re: #144 calochortus

Trouble is, people don’t realize what it was/is costing their employer, so all they’ve seen is the recent increases as more costs are being passed along.

And they’re going to go ballistic now that the IRS is requiring that breakout on the employer W-2 forms. People only have a vague idea of what their health care benefits cost (combined employer/employee, since most people only care what their out-of-pocket expense is).

But we’re also going to see companies attempt to shift even more of the burden on to the employee - reducing the quality of benefits in the process. Because they can.
