For pensions?? LOL no. It goes into general revenue to be squandered.
@Lemur: Let me rephrase what I am saying here:
I think employee-provided health coverage is great. Freakin Wonderful. Awesome. If a company can do this for its people it will instill loyalty, have a healthier workforce and get pretty good sales when people realize they treat their employees right.
I think requiring employers to provide health coverage is stupid, and in the cases of smaller business, the alternative methods of contributing to employee healthcare plans all turn into a complete money-sink for both the employer and the employee, where the insurance company makes off like a bandit.
I don't see why a company is any more responsible for paying my dental insurance than they are for making my car payment and paying for my funeral. There are probably people out there who would argue that my employer should pay for that, too, as I have heard some suggest that employers also subsidize employees educations
