 Re: Want to play in HS band? Pass a drug test

A nearby county government has been discussing their health insurance costs, which are high. The health insurance carrier has been losing money on this county's account, so the rates will probably go even higher. The cost of claims is exceeding the amount paid in health insurance.

A company providing drug testing is advocating mandatory employee drug testing. This is not cheap, as it would cost thousands of dollars a year. The company is claiming that lower health care expenditures would more than make up the difference.

However, police officers and employees who hold commercial driver's licenses are already subject to drug testing, and none of these county employees have ever had a positive test result.

Based on these past test results, I suspect that the cost of mandatory drug testing for all county employees will far exceed the savings. If this is adopted, the only one guaranteed to make money is the company providing the drug testing.

I believe that the costs of mandatory drug testing, both financial and social, outweigh the benefits.
