The ageing out employment because of insurance costs is one of the important issues of insurance reform that has not been discusses. </p>

<p>A mandate for all businesses to offer insurance will only increase the problem by moving the issue down to smaller companies that will have to look at the age of employees for insurance costs also.</p>

<p>One can return to school for training but it is not effective if at the end there is no opportunity for employment because of age.</p>

<p>This problem needs to be considered before any health care legislation is finalized.  </p>]]>
