20. True. Company-sponsored plans were originally a perk to attract employees.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why more business groups aren't supporting a single payer solution, simply to rid themselves of the administration costs and overhead. That, plus that reality is that people in the work force would be more mobile, so they (employers) would not have people on their payroll staying around in jobs they are really thrilled with only because of the insurance benefits - they could move on to a job they really want, be more productive and the employers could replace them with someone who really wants that job.

'course, I don't have a MBA, so I guess I don't understand bidness.
