In addition, health care is considered a fringe benefit of employment. So employers shield employees from the mental strain of figuring out how to pay their (the employees) own bills. We'd be better off if employer provided health care payments were banned and the end user had to figure out how to pay for it. Mark Zenier markz@ssc.wa.com
