they have to on health care?

It might help some small business offer insurance when they didn't before but it's a lot of the larger employers are moving to these consumer driven scams and all they will do is take the 35% and run - they aren't going to improve benefits after rolling them back. Unless, of course, the economy makes a dramatic improvement and they start using good benefits as a way to attract employees - but I think it will be a long time, if ever, before those days come back.

But you bring up a whole other problem with this "reform" - "coverage" is still tied way too tightly to employment.
