“Companies have become more aggressive in hiring people as temporary or contract workers with no fringe benefits.”

Yup. Microsoft does it, everyone does it. It's an infamnia, is what it is.

The funny thing is, most people in the US (according to polls) support the idea of giving everyone health insurance, and would even pay more taxes to do so. The differences arise when you ask them whether everyone should buy private insurance (subsidized) or whether the government could do a better job than private insurers. I think the present situation should allow at least for the admission that government probably couldn't do a WORSE job....
