Why does Stephanie McMahon say the WWE doesn't give Health Insurance?

Submitted By Nick Noel on 01/05/09

Stephanie McMahon-Levesque told the Committee on Oversight and Government reform in her Dec. 14, 2007 interview that one of the reasons the company doesn't provide insurance to the wrestlers is because it would be difficult to find a provider that would support them because they live in various parts of the country. "We have actually looked into it, and because the wrestlers live all over the United States, it is difficult to find any group that would actually support this, you know, people who live all over the place," she said. "There are no discount rates. There are no benefits to doing it. Also, more than 60 percent of our talent already have health insurance. So it would be difficult to say, 'Well, you have to be part of WWE's insurance because, you know, we are mandating it as such when you might have better insurance with your family.' :: DISCUSS THIS POST ON THE FORUMS! :: SEE MICKIE JAMES & THE DIVAS NUDE! :: BUY WRESTLING DVD'S THROUGH OUR STORE! :: GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE WRESTLING EPICENTER STORE IS OPEN!
