We'll be looking at issues including Mandate Light, which gives consumers the opportunity to chose what type of (medical) benefits they want and also at possibly doing a health insurance voucher for the uninsured, including businesses that do not currently offer health insurance, as well as individuals who do not have health insurance.
There's clearly a fear factor involved with this (denial of benefits) hanging over employees' heads. It might make employees emboldened to come to work possibly under the influence.
