I don’t disagree with much of what you say. But realistically speaking, that’s why actual bills are thousands of pages long. :-D
And perhaps it’s not something that needs to be funded by companies. Of course, then we’re veering into the bigger government argument. But as I understand it, many smaller (and even larger) businesses like the idea of the government taking over the health care benefit, because then the burden is no longer on the business.
In any case, every other industrialized nation has better leave laws than we do. In fact, many *developing* countries have better laws than we do. There have got to be some good examples to look to, to pick and choose what works for the particular situation in our country.
