This is not going to help businesses stay afloat and the majority of us do not enjoy the work environments and practices that these c-suite people have to offer. They do not care and they are constantly measuring the wrong things! This is just another thing, that’s going to drive up taxes and costs, while businesses are down and out an employee. This will be used and abused, just like all our other systems that are presented as a help and benefit to people. Don’t many places already offer supplemental insurance, that something like this falls under? I call this a “feel good law”.. it’s meant to appeal to people as being compassionate and caring. But the reality of it is, it’s not good for business, or lowering costs and taxes. Which is what our governor campaigned on, right? Affordable for whom, exactly? Not Virginians!
