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!

I fully agree with the previous comment in opposition of this legislation. I would like to add that I strongly believe that the Governor only did this to get her name in the papers, to appear as if she was doing this for the betterment of the citizens of the Commonwealth, but in all actuality, she has not helped anyone in VA by doing this. Her agenda has been nothing but smoke and mirrors. Quite frankly, I'm extremely disappointed and embarrassed to call her our leader.

I'm interested in hearing more.

This program will kill jobs.  Businesses cannot operate without their employees and this law like so many others enacted without considering the unintended impacts will kill local businesses and therefore the jobs that it is supposed to protect.  Recommended action is to report back that this is an ill-advised law that needs to be repealed immediately.
