Every HR professional will tell you, the total cost of an employee to a company is based on pay and benefits.  Nothing gets passed on,  That's nonsense.  Customers have no vested interest in paying for employee benefits.

Or, to put it another way, everything gets passed on including pay.

Yes, I know that's the conservative mantra, but the real world works entirely on low-cost or best value basis, depending on the good or service.  Both those models contain no calculus for pay and benefits, only being cheaper and better than the competition.

Do I use/need health insurance enough to pay the price for it or sacrifice something else that's already being paid for to afford it? The group that's an important real world factor that you've ignored and don't show much sympathy for and often treat me as being one. Sooner or later, you better take my age (year of birth) more seriously because we are probably on the verge of dethroning the hippies and ushering in an era of American pragmatism. I see 50 some progressive Democrats have decided to place themselves on ignore as they symbolically join hands with the stop America from uniting, shifting its focus on middle America and becoming great again.

What you are ushering in, you Xers (allegedly), is an era of American Fascism. God Bless the 50 Democrats who have decided to skip the inauguration of the American Hitler. At least they are showing a modicum of courage, and standing for principle. They are the models of correct behavior during this ridiculous so-called president's reign, however long it lasts (and there's no way to tell). You rightwingers Classic have divided America. You have forced upon us a demonic, extremist ideology of hate, anarchy and deprivation that has ruined our country. You rightwingers Classic are leading our nation into being the opposite of great, and have been for 37 years and counting. Only deceived people like you refuse to see that, blinded as you are by the lens of hate, and your refusal to do your duty to anyone but your own wealth.

And the authors DID warn us that the Xers could well usher in a reign in America of such a leader as we now have got.
