Just received the results of my small local banks meeting on this subject. The auditors reported that providing health coverage for employees in 2014 will result in a annual cost increase of $35,000, which they can't justify. cancellation of coverage may be the only alternative.

You're right on Jon. I was recently given a prescription for an anti-biotic for an eye infection. The tube contains less then an ounce of ointment and was quoted as $200 at WalMart. My wife found it in Canada for $24. As it turned out, I didn't even need it. I believe my Doctor prescribed it to protect against a law suit. I think it's called covering your ass. How did we ever get so turned around?
