O.K. if you insist... It will be up another 25%-30% by the time Bush leaves office in January 2009. Too bad that Social Security won't see any of it. But all of the people who opposed Bush thought the stock market was "too risky".

Kenneth, thought this might be of interest to you since you do not provide health insurance to your one employee and that you have the taxpayers pay your health insurance.... A Shared Responsibility: U.S. Employers and the Provision of Health Insurance to Employees Although employer-based health insurance forms the backbone of the U.S. health insurance system, it has been slowly eroding. Between 2000 and 2003, the number of Americans without health insurance coverage grew by 5 million, with nearly the entire increase attributed to a decline in employer-sponsored coverage. When employers do not provide health insurance to their own employees, those workers' medical costs are met by other sources. A new study by researchers at The Commonwealth Fund finds that the largest part of these costs is paid for by other employers, who spend an estimated $31 billion to cover these workers through dependent coverage. That is in addition to the estimated $150 billion they spend on their own workers' health care costs.
