Voucher is paid... how?

Can they or can they not pay for medical insurance out of their employees checks?
The reduction in business meant reduction in hours. Do the math.

I understand that. But, I don't see taxes as being punitive. They are supposed to be collected for common use. If someone wants to pursue being fat, despite the consequences to their health, punishing them for it kind of goes against the whole life, liberty and pursuit of happiness concept.
I'm not punishing them. Their reckless behavior punishes me.

The opposite is likely to happen under a government plan. Treatments for things like drug addiction have more public sway than other lesser known conditions. We've learned that with Medicaid here in Oregon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afuek..._embedded#t=47
That's one place. Perhaps you people should use less drugs in Oregon.
