There are many ways to respond to the high cost of health care. But I can't say that I care for this one. O_o

I'm glad I don't work there. And bully for the four people who refused to take the test; I hope they find a better company to work for soon.

I won't say "there oughta be a law" or "Weyco shouldn't be able to do this", because I don't believe in laws to control who a company hires and fires, or why. But I will say: I sure hope market forces clobber them hard.

This is why I think having any faith in "market forces" to correct this is a bit naïve, because market forces are what created this kind of thing in the first place. It's just what happens when money is more powerful than people.

I don't agree with that, because as was said above, it wasn't just market forces that created this, government actions in the healthcare industry also have contributed a large portion to it.

That said, I think the increased premiums would have been the way to go, but that also probably would have landed them in a lawsuit since I'm sure the charge of discrimination would have been screamed just as loud.
