More Democratic Meddling

The emergency law would cover pandemic H1N1 flu or any other infectious disease, said California Representative George Miller, a Democrat who chairs the House Education and Labor Committee and who introduced the bill.

Well let’s think about this. What is an infectious disease? We have things like strep throat, pink eye, gonorrhea and Chlamydia, most diarrheal illnesses and virtually thousands of others that would fall into this category.

Are employers now supposed to pay employees for all of these illnesses?

When are these intrusive government mandates going to end?
