This is not a brand-new trend.  It's been going on since the double-digit growth in medical costs started spiralling back in the late 1980s. Companies have been quietly terminating employees who have cancer, AIDS, etc. because of high medical costs, but officially due to performance issues.

To be fired and stripped of benefits is outrageous. Sounds like a great
class
action suit to me.
