Really, that is one of the dumbest things you've said. Corporations get a writeoff, whether they're paying salary or benefit. The "loophole" is with the employee, who gets tax free benefits, not with the employer.

As far as this subsidy is concerned, it was an incentive to offer prescription drug benefits to union retirees. The companies do not have to offer this benefit.
