Yes, point well made. This is how taxes work. In this case I was highlighting that the company itself does not have to cover the majority.

Sure - because that burden has been pushed, in part, onto its staff.

I know it may seem pedantic but phrases like "Government funding", "free", and "entitlements" muddy the waters when discussing the morality of policies.

Is the same as hearing "the US Government declared war on North Korea". Sounds much more heroic than it'd wind up being. At least, since Davy Crockett died ;)
