The myth that big wig execs are republican may have been more believable in the 1980s. I am not against medical insurance, but vision insurance is completely useless, and once people are educated about the actual cost/benefit of vision insurance, I'm positive people will stop buying it and just pay their doctor directly. The only reason employers pay for vision plans are to help give employees a tax-free type of income. Employers should instead just pay their people more, but then the tax collectors would snatch it. But it looks like in the near future either way we're going to get spanked because Barack Husein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm)'s healthcare takeover will soon put an end to the tax deduction of paying for insurance premiums.
