From USAToday.com, 14 September: The cost of health insurance is up to about $11,000 per family per year in the U.S.A., partly borne by employers. And that's with how many people not covered at all?
One of the things the French do better. Make that two.
Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz, speaking at a health costs roundtable sponsored by cable channel CNBC, called on companies to offer health insurance, saying it's a "moral obligation."
Earlier, he told Washington state congressional representatives Starbucks will spend more on health insurance for employees this year than on coffee, according to the Associated Press.
"It's completely non-sustainable," he said, even for companies such as his that "want to do the right thing."
