Yes.....that is all correct. Other than the Taxpayers for this "Company" receive no dividends or anything to sell for the use of their money.....So I don't know that they would be called shareholders either. But that aside, I do think that the Taxpayers of the "Company" should pay the full amount of the insurance. You are correct that it, either a partial payment, is "earned" by the employee as partial job compensation. What it WOULD do is give everyone that can't otherwise get good insurance, a chance to have a lower rate because of the HUGE "Risk Pool"... It would be VERY interesting to see what the Federal Insurance coverage rates are with a full premium.... You aren't taxed on those insurance premiums that are paid by the Government for you, are you?
