" Ms. Bannana- Yes I can tell you that all of my employees have health care coverage. Although that has little to do with a proposed 10% surcharge on my payroll ledger cost to provide for 'all' private sector employees in WI. With little reasoning or idea by those who thought up this nonsensical burden. As employers, jobs, commerce, and money are leaving this area and State by the handfuls. Bow a question for you, since I answered yours. Does your check have a government log of some kind on it? Since there is no health care crisis, because full time government employees have coverage. "

" First, most universal plans are NOT free healthcare, they are plans that require a fair cost to everyone. The employees and employers all pay. I heard one private sector employer say his share of health care premiums was about 25% of his salary and benefits costs, Healthy Wisconsin would have evened it out to about 12% because those busineses who are not paying now would be expected to come forward and share the costs. So the responsible companies would save and the greedy ones would have to pay their fair share. guess who is complaining about it. Mr. Roofer do you provide all your employees with health insurance coverage? "

" Turn the lights out in WI. When all that remains is Health Care, Municipal, County, State, School System, Federal,and Military Personnel Service providers. As private sector business runs for the border. Amazingly, someone actually has to get up and place a brick on top of a brick each and every day. I mean you can only ignore the illegal alien workforce so long. With the sub standard pay, and non-existant benefit packages working as present 'serfs' and underclass among us. Kosher Meat PLant-'They were illegal! You have got to be kidding me, Oyvay!' "

" Bluestate- You are a self serving person. Who with your post attempts to confuse, and misdirect the issue. Those like me can only hope and pray that this will not evolve to include another 10% added employer cost to fund this program. Placed on the backs of the huge percentage of 'businesses' who are honestly small, and not corporate giants. In fact there is no health care crisis. There is a public sector employee health care crisis. Government employees have affordable coverage. Like you! "

" County Board members should prepare themselves for a long sermon from Tara Johnson tonight, this will be right up her socialist agenda,,,,,health care is not a right, its a privelege, why should working people support more non-workers? oh, the same coverage as wisconsin elected officials receive, and again where is the money going to come from? yes costs are high and something needs to be done but don't add more people at taxpayers expense.
Lets for once see a cutback in some areas, its time to look and review if certain areas or departments cater to a very few group, then cut the program. "

Well said.
If this country got out of the BUSINESS of creating career politicians we wouldn't have to worry about providing life long entitlements to them. "

" Socialism has failed every time it has been tried. It is a long painful demise. I guess we love the idea of someone else paying for our health care. How about us responsible citizens work to help the future generations rather than take everything we can get for ourselves. "
