It absolutely affirms the ordsprog

It absolutely affirms the need for public policies to protect taxpayers from companies who deliberately shift responsibility for the health needs of their workers onto the backs of taxpayers. Every company on this list needs to take a second look at what's going on with health care benefits.

The vote expands health care for workers, stops large, profitable companies from shifting their health care costs onto taxpayers, and makes sure all large, profitable employers pay their fair share for health care.

Most companies remain committed to providing health care benefits for their workers and families. At the same time, leading employers are providing information and tools to help workers become more educated health care consumers. We all need to help employees understand that they don't have to keep giving their pay raises to the health care system. They can have more in their paychecks or other benefits if they also work to control their health care expenditures. Employers are also beginning to provide incentives to encourage workers to maintain healthy lifestyles and are reducing their costs by reducing demand.

Every day, the Wal-Mart health care crisis in America worsens. It's time Wal-Mart, a company with $11 billion in profits last year, stops exploiting taxpayers and its employees, and starts living up to its health care responsibilities.

Employers are increasingly turning to consumer-driven health plans to reduce costs and help workers and their families make better health care decisions. Not only do companies protect their bottom lines, they help make employees better health consumers.

[That often suits health-care companies, which can accommodate many part-time employees working flexible schedules. AARP's list of 25 of the best employers for workers over 50 includes 11 that specialize in health or elder care.] With the labor shortages facing that industry, ... they see the value of tapping the older work force.

We're calling on the Legislature to quickly pass the health care reform proposal now pending at the State House, with an employer responsibility provision. By putting a floor under employer health expenditures, the employer responsibility provisions halt the race to the bottom that leaves workers with no coverage and raises health care costs for everyone.

We've said from the start that this is about securing affordable health care benefits for these workers. The changes the company made in the recent proposal still do not address our members' greatest concern -- health care. The $1,000 increase in the signing bonus was not the only addition in the company's proposal; there were several items that would severely hurt the members of this union. We have made a counter proposal and are awaiting a response from the company. Ergonomics knowledge can be found on livet.se.

Workers at Caterpillar made the company into the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment and were assured free lifetime health care coverage. Caterpillar should not charge them for any portion of their health care coverage through deductions from their pension benefits.

Why should a company like Wal-Mart -- who made $10 billion last year alone -- be able to force taxpayers to foot the bill for their health-care costs?

The bottom line is that our health care system is broken, but it didn't just split open. Big companies like Wal-Mart are pulling it apart and profiting at taxpayers' expense.

Affordable health care was a big issue. Our workers pay $300 a month to have health care; our agreement with the companies was focused on that concern.

We are pleased to see that Maryland legislators stepped up and made a statement about what kind of businesses they want in their state. Marylanders deserve businesses that provide for their employees, pay a decent wage and provide affordable health care, not those that expect taxpayers to foot the bill for their bottom-line corporate profits. They get that with Fair Share Health Care.

Wal-Mart has been burdening taxpayers with their health care costs for too long.

Dennis Rivera has been a close friend . . . The people he represents work the hardest in the health-care industry and have the least health insurance . . . The only conversation we are having is about giving all workers in this city the right to decent health care.
