Likewise, if businesses could hire women for an N% discount on labor costs, they would hire only women.

There’s a lot of things that are irrational to an employer, ie providing health insurance or limiting the hours their employees work. Fortunately labor laws exist and are enforced. And just to emphasize, I said the primary caregiver, who is usually but not slways a woman.

Employer provided healthcare is insane and is leftover from ecomic-distorting policies of WWII.

Well yea, healthcare should be a right of all people and not contingent upon employment but that wasn’t really my point

Healthcare requires the time and resources of healthcare professionals, and no one has the RIGHT to the time or resources of other people. We abolished slavery in this country, I'm sick of people like you arguing to bring it back.
