In the long run these corporate solutions are what is needed. Why? Because currently there is no financial incentive, in the short term, to stay healthy. Health insurance costs continue to increase and adverse selection continually makes this worse.
The bias in this article is disturbing because currently even the government is doing nothing to incentive people financially in the short term in this same way. Think 50 years down the line - if systems like this aren't in place we are in serious trouble. There is no perfect solution but to blame companies for tying health and its costs to short term costs is insane. This is a GOOD THING. Wake up people!
This reminds me of a quote (paraphrasing). "The market is the worst form of economic distribution, except for all others."
