re: #155 lawhawk

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.

In the way back, some large corporations started sending annual benefit statements to employees showing the costs of benefits to the company & employee. I saw one that showed an xtra $30K in untaxed income that was contributed by the employer.

I think that helped people understand how it all works.
