>>I guess it goes back to employer rights vs the rights of the employee.
Fair enough- for the employer to be responsible for employee healthcare is not a common model. Once you reach that point I guess the employer suddenly finds themselves embroiled in things they never would have expected and that would not have been tolerated by previous generations - the boss involved in female employees' fertility?! Welcome to 2012 where it's something to be celebrated and enforced in law!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
