Thread: Paying For Health Care

Umm this is all ready happening. Not every business is required to carry health care even for it's full time employees. It only makes the rich richer & the poor poorer because they. (the poor) get stuck in a dead end job with no hopes of being able to afford health care.

I honestly don't care about the rich getting richer and I believe if the "poor" are happy to be able to provide for their family better then before, then it is all worth it.

Sounds like you're talking about increasing the minimum wage... what does this have to do with healthcare?
