http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.42:

This is completely ridiculous!

"....to include the value of creditable health care benefits provided by such employer to an employee in determining the wage such employer is required to pay an employee."

1. AKA: Lower the salary per check, while "counting" health benefits perhaps rarely used.

The hatefulness knows no depths.

2. not hard to figure out who would like this legislation passed

I am sure some of Issa's largest campaign contributors would benefit . . .

3. K&R- And we can dispense with that "Socialist Security", too...

if god wants you to be comfortable in your old age, he would have made you rich.

These GOPers must have had terrible childhoods...

4. I wish...

people would see through all the bullshit and see what's REALLY going on: Decrease your quality of life so I can increase mine.

The fact that ordinary people would actually stick up for this legislation is sickening. If enacted I could see someone being told they're getting a pay cut, not to hire new employees, but to buy a new yacht.
