Blank doesnt understand that all businesses are different. He doesnt understand that some companies will be able to afford it, other wont. Some are volume sellers with low margins, some are not.

The other main point he misses is that he only looks at 1 part of the equation. What Shultz said is meaningless because he already offers some type of HC to employees. (Id love to know what kind it is and compare it to other companies). What is not being presented in the article is he could make this statement about keeing HC, but if he closes 500 stores to keep the current HC, this article is incredibly dumb and misleading.

ALL BUSINESSES ARE NOT CREATED THE SAME

NEITHER IS HC.

THe other funny thing is, that if all these companies had such great HC being offered already, why are we requiring them to offer what the govt wants them to offer? I mean these companies were already offering care ON THEIR OWN DIME, why the mandate ?
