I already get those calls....I just lie if I feel like it. It’s none of their biz. Cannot fathom that I need a nanny taking care of me. I get extra healthcare money for providing this info now. Wait till they just have full access to your efile personal health info on line from your doctor.
ok, class...I will be in the teacher’s lounge having a catered breakfast. BBIAB
Which is no different from "fining" those who don't comply.
Either way, it is a free company in a free market making decisions freely about how and if it wants to provide benefits to its employees who freely decide to work there.
It's simply not totalitarian. People, even FReepers, are acting like the company owes it to its employees to give them the best health insurance with nothing expected in return. It's an entitlement mentality.
Again, once there is only the federal gov't making all of the health insurance decisions for everyone in the country, then it will be totalitarian to withhold what is your "right" unless you eat your broccoli.
