Thank you John, your kind remarks are greatly appreciated. I give much of the credit to Google's expanding data base and more accurate search methodologies. I find I can now just 'ask google' a question and I find many very interesting responses that address what I'm interested in. I find myself doing this with greater frequency as time goes by and the accuracy and quality of the responses improves.

One thing I came across after that post on Medical Care was that congress has stipulated that the Employer is responsible for 50% of the cost of a 'single' worker's insurance. When the rules stipulate coverage the employer is required to cover (@50%) the worker and not his or her's entire family. Something that many 'experts' are not bothering to mention. This would mean that all workers will be pretty much equal in the eyes of the employer, regardless of their family situation.

I think the 'white-collar'-ization of the wage class will be a slow result of this required medical benefit and will simply contribute to the decline in union power and reduction in rights of the wage earning class. I say this as it will make economic sense from an employer's point of view. If it costs too much to keep workers, then one easy solution is to make everyone a boss or manager. The absurdity will arise that the local burger joint has a 'drinks' manager, a 'food prep' manager, a 'drive-by' manager, and a 'register' manager. As managers they will be expected to put in their 40 hours a week at their managerial positions, and then to take part in the opening and closing procedures of the establishment. Perhaps they might even be expected to 'train' at other managerial positions on the week-ends. Nothing like a good sixty hour six day week to put backbone in the 'Managerial Team'. But all managers are covered by medical insurance.
