Forty-Five Percent Believe Employers Should be Required to Provide
Employee Health Care Benefits

Lancaster, PA (PRWEB) May 15, 2006 -- The United States will spend over
$2.1 trillion in 2006 on healthcare. Over $800 million of that will be
paid by employers.

What role should employers play in ensuring that their employee's lives
are covered? What role should employees play in taking their turn at the
oars?

That is exactly what was asked of The Total View readers, a weekly
e-newsletter published by Success Performance Solutions, during the
month of April. Subscribers to this free publication include over 6000
human resource professionals, executives, managers and business owners.

According to Ira S Wolfe, president and founder of this employee
screening and assessment firm, fifty-five percent of the respondents
said NO when asked if employers should be required to provide health
care benefits. A surprising fifty-eight percent said YES if employers
who don't provide benefits should be forced to pay a subsidy for the
uninsured.

A resounding 71.2% percent thought employers should be allowed to charge
higher premiums to employees who smoke and half of the respondents
thought it would be okay to charge more for employees who are 30 pounds
or more overweight.

Over one-third of the respondents shared their opinions, ranging from
the last thing we need is more government intervention to it is the
employers responsibility to help keep employees productive.
