In America we take a reduced wage in order to have that reduction pay for our medical insurance before taxes. This is just an accounting trick so that the worker doesn't pay taxes on that cost. The worker is paying for the insurance by working, not Hobby Lobby.
If someone wasn't working for Hobby Lobby, they sure wouldn't be getting any insurance from the company.
The reform that we need to move to in America is just to outlaw all employer benefit packages and have them pay that benefit package in cash to any employee, and then allow a 100% pretax deduction for all medical insurance costs.
Just become a nation of contractors.
