VT healthcare bill

I think some people are confused about why IBM might be against the healthcare bill in the VT legislature.

Smaller employers are put in a class with other small employers, and their health plan terms are determined by an insurance company.  IBM is self-insured.  It is its own class, and it already has fiscal predictability in the corporate budget for healthcare, or at least far more than any smaller employer.  The status quo benefits IBM as a company; why would it want to change that?

Granted, even as an employee of IBM, I might still want to see the VT bill go through, because (according to what Sarahmac has read) it would actually lower our cost of healthcare coverage.  Better yet, I'd like the option of taking either the VT plan or the IBM plan.
