we have a problem with healthcare in CA that I am not sure is being echoed throughout the country- yet. This is the high tech companies outsourcing their non-critical tasks to these minimum wage jobshops and letting the taxpayers pick up the bill for the uninsured workforce. Some companies like Oracle even bring over foreign workers through consulting companies and pay them in foreign currency, offshore.

I don't know a way out of this. We can't let the working middle class subsidize half the state and the shareholders of these big companies. Single payer may be the only answer.

<<Employees need to pick up more of the frontload on office visits, IMO. I pay $10, and it ought to be $20. Only way to keep overuse down.>>

My cousin lived next door to a guy who worked for Caterpiller. At the time Cat paid 100% for emergency room visits. This guy would get drunk every Saturday night and on Sunday be in the emergency room for his two Excedrin that cost Cat $75.
