It does seem that if the burden of paying $9 billion to insure their employees and their families is taken off their books, anything under $9 billion distributed out is going to be a savings for them and a windfall back, not to mention the 4% to 5% admin fees that are charged by the private insurance companies to oversee those accounts. They would get a windfall in many different ways here. This is not increasing the burden. It's decreasing the burden on employers.
