While I believe the plight of the families of the Arizona firefighters make an excellent object lesson as to why relying on employer-provided health benefits is a disastrous model for the country, and find the whole thing tragic and depressing...I can't say I'm no board with the request for the governor to step in and grant the benefits. This doesn't seem to be someone using a technicality to get out of paying out what they should. To me, they signed up to be seasonal workers, and signed up to accept the limited benefits that come with that.
