For our firm, this is a welcome financial benefit and it is good to see that the government is recognizing the need to support companies in this endeavor.

I work for a rather small Social Service Agency (33 people) and because of the nature of the business at least 2/3 of the employees are under the age of 30. They are all fit and healthy already although some do smoke. Out of the 33 employees 4 are over the age of 50, 3 are in their 40's and maybe 2 in their 30's. I don't know if I could interest such a young population to do more for their health - granted this is the time to start. This seems quite intriquing.

They may have some components so wouldn't get tax credits if they added HRA's, etc. Why not give at least some incentives to companies that add to their program?
