The percentage of companies offering health insurance dropped to approximately 60 percent in 2004, down 3 percent from the previous year. Most U.S. companies that do not offer health care benefits cite rising costs as the determining factor. On average, health insurance premiums rise between 9 and 11 percent or more on an annual basis. The result is a slow but steady decline in the availability of traditional employment-based health care coverage.

The majority of businesses who dropped health insurance coverage have less than 100 employees. 98 percent of larger companies with 100 or more employees offer health care benefits.

The cost of health insurance was the deciding factor for most companies, with some businesses reporting that they had to few employees to negotiate with insurance companies for lower rates. The increasing competition from businesses in foreign countries has forced some U.S. companies to eliminate traditional health care coverage in favor of limited health care benefits for employees. Employers have been forced to pass more of the cost of health insurance coverage on to employees, with the smaller companies being unable to afford coverage at all.

It is estimated that insurance premiums rose this year by an average of 9.2 percent nationwide.

The more I study the dynamics of WWII the more I am convinced that we won the war because of our entrepreneurs and their output; manufacturing capability. With most other things being equaled; technology, techniques of war strategy, etc.; only two things won us the war. The Will to Win, and the never before achieved industrial output. I can safely say in the car wash industry no one has more will than us and no one has the ramp up capability that could supercede us. Does this mean the US will …

What became of all the hot rhetoric about being tough on terrorism, that Iraq was the center of the war on terrorism, and that to do anything less than stay the course in Iraq would be an insult to our troops AND leave the place in the hands of Al Qaeda?

When you look at today's society, you will see one grave statistic. And that is the statistic of the amount of people in poverty compared to the amount of people in luxury. We see people working eight to twelve hours a day, getting paid very poorly, given a very small allowance of what society produces, and then on the other side, we see men and women buying expensive drinks, clothes, houses, and cars. They are wealthy capitalists, or they are corporate executives, or they are politicians. …
