Wet Beach Spa, an exclusive resort in northern New Jersey, has already promised that workers will be required to register and pay "medical bills" of up to $350 per hour to prevent their health from being affected by air pollution, leading to a $350 million reduction in hospital construction costs.

The company plans to offer temporary employees 30 days, and a year, to participate in the health center's annual meeting. All staff will spend one year at Spa's facility, which will also include a 1,500-square-foot facility that will host 50 health care practitioners including medical tech, healthcare executives, and social workers. The facility will make "health education" available from the hotel to employees, and its health centers will provide "social interaction and information" about healthcare and wellness.
Spa officials are confident that Spa has "a proven track record" against air pollution in the US, and are also confident its plans will be successful. But it's not just about saving money and eliminating an environmental problem. "We need this money back for a more sustainable environment as well," said one California local who has worked with Spa on issues impacting the local environment.
Last year, the company's chief executive, Ron Rector, said that "a lot of people might think that maybe our technology's going to allow people to do health care without all this crap going on" — but that hasn't happened. Spa officials have shown no regard for the health conditions that have resulted from human activity and have not even done an exhaustive investigation.

That report will come even more quickly than Spa plans to do. It will include a look into how much Spa may charge for air-borne contaminants in the resort's air "health care" centers, the exact type of air pollution it'll provide to the health center and its employees, and how many times all workers will be given the option of paying.
"We'll be paying a couple thousand dollars for all of that, because when you do go home you still have to meet your deductible," said Rector.

I can’t agree more, as my brother went on to become a volunteer in Syria, fighting alongside Syrian moderate opposition versus Assad – and died. All because US did not stop Assad in 2011-2012.
