The fine is only 3K per employee. Well less than what the company spends per individual on health care.
Prior to 2014 there is NO fine for not offering health insurance so why not get rid of it now?
How much cheaper the insurance is supposed to be vs the fine we will not know till 2014, or later. The plan is supposed to bring down costs dramatically since the whole country will now be insured, and the uninsured aren't killing the system by getting healthcare, then mot paying for it. Those losses don't go away, they get passed onto the ones who do pay for insurance. I'm sure they evaluated the fine vs expected insurance costs when it is fully enacted.
The fine or "penalty" as its called, is $2000 per employee for companies who have more than 50 employees. Plus, when they cut you, it also includes any dependents you carry. I.E. spouse, children. $2000 is a deal, not a penalty.
A deal? Not compared to the fine right now, or in past years.
They could have cut our benefits out for free last year, yet they didn't. Why would they do it once there was a fine involved?
And how much talent do you think Con-Way could count on retaining if they stopped offering quality medical care? No pension, no benefits, why would people stay if they could find a better deal somewhere else?
With potential savings around $10k per employee paying the "fine" and sending us to find our own insurance through a coop could hypothetically put a lot of money in someone's pockets that most likely won't be blue collar peeps. All hypothetically speaking of coarse.
