The Quisling crony capitalists who gave aid and comfort to the passage of the Obamacare disaster have been stabbed in the back and are as angry as wet hornets.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is suing them — well Honeywell International and two smaller firms anyway but all are in its sights — for the “wellness programs” that were instrumental in getting the bossy-types on board for the “Affordable” Care Act.
It should be understood that the EEOC is under the auspices of the President.
Wellness programs give corporations a chance to question workers about the details of their personal lives, make them undergo screenings, and force them to attend weight-loss or smoking-cessation programs.
Obamacare allows huge incentives for those taking part in workplace wellness programs of up to 50-percent of their monthly premiums, deductibles and other costs. This means smokers and heavy people and people with pre-existing conditions face major financial discrimination, not to mention the invasions of privacy.
The also remarkably stupid American Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits employers from discriminating against those with disabilities including blindness and mental retardation. This means they can’t require medical testing of employees. Further, the EEOC considers obesity a disability with regards to the act.
Oh, just watch the train wreck.
And this does not even attempt to address trying to get those with dangerous sex lives to change their ways.
The wise and simple solution is to completely ban the practice of employer-provided health care. Give raises to compensate for the loss of the benefits and let the workers buy their insurance in the same fashion they do their homes and food.
Most employers — the successful ones, the ones you want to work for — don’t care about your personal life. All they want from you is for you to show up on time and do what you are paid to do.
They don’t care about your skin color either or, generally, sex.
Get government out of hiring decisions.
EEOC Sues ACA Wellness Programs
“Get government out of hiring decisions.”
You’re just trying to upset dictators aren’t you? Adolf Hitler would stick you in Buchenwald from saying or even thinking like that.
Then there are those in the good old U.S. of A who think like that too.
Be careful.
