Businesses blast 'list of shame'

What if you run a company that doesn't provide certain benefits?Should you be singled out?In Illinois:
The state would start naming companies with the most workers enrolled in taxpayer-funded Medicaid programs if Gov. Blagojevich signs a measure that business leaders say would have no impact other than to generate "a list of shame" that would embarrass them.
The corrupt state of Illinois, with the most underfunded public pension system is telling corporations what benefits package they should have.What's lost in all this is:corporations don't force the government to spend money on health care, that's a choice made by politicians.Chicago Sun-Times
