The next question...
Sep. 15th, 2004 02:41 pmI know that those without employer paid health care might find this question
somewhat annoying, but I'm union, so I get paid health care.
It's health plan open enrollment time here at work and I always wonder why
employers give a larger contribution to employees with dependents for health
insurance? This has always irked me, as I see this is another case of
discrimination. The employer hires the employee, not their dependents, so
why should I get an employee contribution of only $305 a month, but a person
with two dependents gets $794? I wonder if these benefits are considered
compensation, and if they are, why aren't I getting equal compensation?
