Yep the state requiring equal medical coverage to all employees at work again. Its very risky to have an older person who might need a 250,000$ surgery.
We can see in this article what is happening. The employers in fact do want to hire Harry. They are giving him contracts to get around the liability issues the government forces on them.
If the government got rid of the communist requirements... Harry would be hired full time.
Any riskier than covering a younger person having children? I had a friend who's wife had a premature birth with complications. Thirty days later, a bunch of it in neo-natal intensive care, I'd bet the hospital bill was pushing a quarter mil. So by your logic companies shouldn't cover younger employees families either.
