Health Care for All - G: Employer sponsored insurance stinks.

This video may draw controversy. The underlying issue is that a 24/7 health insurance is a HR marketing tool rather than an asset preserving insurance like Worker Comp.

To illustrate, the now deceased owner of a private company relied on day-to-day manual labor for upkeep. The story goes that on of these workers broke his back falling from a roof. The owner kindly put him in the bed of a pick-up truck and drove him from Silicon valley through the Mexico border where the injured man could received medical care that he could afford. That worker was not considered valuable enough to the business for a 24/7 coverage, and not even for worker comp.
