Hiram: Jim Oberweis Believes In Health Care For Cows – Not People
Jim Oberweis supports health care for all cows in his business. But the Chicago Tribune points out Jim Oberweis is against employers providing health care insurance for people – he says employees should go it alone. Cows get guaranteed health care while people go without. Should we treat cows better than people? Yes, it sounds strange, but you know where Jim Oberweis stands.
Here’s the Skinny:
What’s fascinating is that Oberweis is talking about a health care system that existed 20 years ago and not what exists today. There are incentives to avoid overusing health care, but more importantly health care now is starting to focus on more preventative care which is the only way to truly reduce the rising health care costs.
