I couldn't agree more about the concerns the Senator raised. Senator Johnson was a successful businessman. He provided health insurance for his employees. He had to purchase it. I will just ask him one quick question. Based on his experience--a year and a half ago he was doing this business. What are the incentives for a business that is already in existence, providing health care, why might they not continue to provide it? Why might a new company, a startup company, a small business that hopes to grow and have hundreds of employees--why might they never start with employer-based health care?
