Comment on Your Thoughts: Decoupling Health Care From Employment by Krista Francis

Krista Francis — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 01:55:05 +0000

To echo the sentiments of several who commented before me: I massively benefit by generous spousal benefits….. *AND*….. I also advocate decoupling healthcare from employment.

I won’t turn down the benefits offered through my spouse’s employer, but I think the system is patently unfair. Our family coverage (premium/co-pays/deductible) is close to free, while others pay $5000 or $10,000, depending on their employer. Or they pay even more than that, it they are unemployed, self-employed, or’ uninsurable’.

Let’s separate insurance from employment for these reasons and many more!

If I don’t want to use “To Whom It May Concern” will it be appropriate to use “Dear Hiring Manager”?

Hi Lance – great article! I think the one thing companies forget is that social media is about being interesting and if you don’t try and push the envelope every once in a while, why bother.

I also liked point 4 in this article by Dharmesh Shah (CTO of Hubspot): http://www.socialmediatoday.com/SMC/132126

He reminds us that nothing on a corporate blog has ever proved fatal to an organization. In contrast, social media success stories are talked about every day (most likely by organizations that failed a few times.)

If you can’t screw up using social media, there is no more fun in life.

Thought-provoking as usual, Lance! I found myself saying, “But, but…” as I read, because I tend to be a risk-avoider. Maybe I’ll reconsider that tendency.

Lance

I think that you hit the nail on the head on this. Soc Media policy should be pretty simple. Don’t be an idiot and don’t make us look bad but your job is to create some transparency.

Done.

Of course this will only work for smaller organizations. The big companies have an out of whack locus of control.

Good points Lance, and I particularly like the notion of overzealous and fearful legal and HR types chasing the ‘interestingness’ out of it. Actually, I just really like the word ‘interestingness’.
