Massachusetts Health Insurance Bill

[Bono]

Stupid.
If I want to pay from my own pocket, it's my prerogative.

I am so pissed off at big companies shirking their responsibilities to their employees while collecting big payouts and profits for CEO's that I'd be inclined to support this bill.

Why should health care be an employer responsibility in general?  While the employer should definitely be held responsible for health care when the employee is injured on the job, why should it have to provide health care for the spouse and kid?  Employer provided health care is the fundamental flaw in our system today.  Managing health care is not a core competency for most employers, so even when they want to do well, they have difficulties.
