Now, about that profit sharing...."
Exactly. And in the name of cutting down on the tiny percentage of abusers, everyone will be harassed and end up flying sick more often, which will get more of us sick more often, etc. This is a huge safety and legality issue too, and there's no TVM in that.
No more sick harassment. What we have now, which is already concessionary, is more than sufficient.
