Re: I thought I heard you calling me :)

dark, your side of the arguement is so silly and so brainlessly overcome....what you are talking about in regards to miners is not a matter of health insuramce. It's a matter of Worker's Compansation Insurance. Trust me, I know it well. That company who employed those miners has insurance to cover on-the-job accidents. Health insurance is a completely different issue. It's a personal insurance taken out on behalf of the individual.

At your job at IBM, where you're required to wear a suit and tie, should IBM be required to purchase your clothes too? It's a uniform of such! You have to get to work..should they pay for your car? Can you not see the slippery slope you've created? Can you IMAGINE the costs of goods and services if every company had to start purchasing everyone's insurances????? Good Lord!

Maybe my maid example was a bad one, because where I live people mostly hire individuals (not services, not companies) to clean their houses on a regular basis. And most usually send a W2 at the end of the year to report to the IRS.
