re: #57 Killgore Trout

I was a little surprised too but it does makes sense. Most people in the country are religious so many see it as protecting the religious freedom of employers. Also, the vast maojority of Americans have no idea how their insurance coverage works. Employers pay the premiums and the employee never thinks about it. As I recall Obama’s compromise was the the government will pick up the cost and most people won’t see a difference in coverage so his compromise seems reasonable.

Employers pay part of the premium, employees pay their share.
Also, these premium payments by the employers are part of the overall salary/benefits package.
So it is wrong to suggest that employers should have more say than the employee.
