Startling Statistic
We had a talk at Grand Rounds this morning on health care costs, and the speaker noted the following:
Starbucks pays most of the medical premiums for workers with >20 hours per week and now spends more on medical care than coffee.
Amazing, if true.

Isn't it true that a huge percentage of what we pay for a car is for health coverage for autoworkers?
Actually, wouldn't salaries (and benifits) be much of the cost at service-intensive jobs anyway?
Perhaps it's a testament to how little Starbucks pays for coffee...
