On 13 January 2015 Reuters reported: US companies are increasingly penalizing workers who decline to join 'wellness' programmes, embracing an element of President Barack Obama's healthcare law that has raised questions about fairness in the workplace. Beginning in 2014, the law known as Obamacare raised the financial incentives that employers are allowed to offer workers for participating in workplace wellness programmes and achieving results. Big business lobbied for the incentives. 'Employers are carrying a major burden of healthcare in this country and are trying to do the right thing,' said Stephanie Pronk, a vice president at benefits consultant Aon Hewitt. 'They need to improve employees' health so they can lead productive lives at home and at work, but also to control their healthcare costs.' But there is almost no evidence that workplace wellness programmes significantly reduce those costs. That's why the financial penalties are so important to companies, critics and researchers say. They boost corporate profits by levying fines that outweigh any savings from wellness programmes. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern health and business systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
