You're right, a savings account would do the same. Its the health care issue that would be the biggest benefit. I think that would do wonders for drawing contractors and keeping them. I know it would make a huge difference to me. By the same token if someone else were offering it that would make me take a hard look at them. Health Care is a huge issue and expense if you don't have group power.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying they owe me this. I knew the health care deal when I signed up. I'm just saying if it were offered I believe the benefit to the carrier would be significant due to loyalty and retention of contractors. It is cutting edge ideas and thinking outside the box that keeps companies one step ahead of thier competition.
