As Health Law Changes Loom, A Shift To Part-Time Workers : NPR


This article points up a truth about health care and how it is provided here in the United States.  Some employers will no doubt go to part time employees and others will choose to pay the penalty rather than offer insurance.  Each of these will result in the individual seeking coverage in the exchanges.  THE VERY FACT that businesses are taking these routes shows how the costs of health care, even employer furnished health care, is already subsidized in a socialistic manner by the American taxpayer.  The only way around this is for the IRS to tax insurance benefits at their value or for the businesses to pay the employee and that employee seek coverage on the open market.  Either way is painful and would force changes in the way health care is paid for.
