Can you believe that ? This was at my part-time civilian hospital. The medical issue was cancer.
No wonder employment is stagnant.

They do, it's ridiculous. I sat in a "panel" interview once, wherein this one woman kept asking me "Why are you seeking employment here at ____?" She asked me this four times and I answered four times. She started to ask a fifth time when one of the other panel members told her; "How many times does he have to answer that? The man's here because he needs a job, Sharon."

The supervisors in our department wanted them back but it seems corporate did not. I was told they can retake the test in 4 months.

Regardless of what the company says, because employers lie all of the time, they were denied re-employment because of insurance risks. Another good reason for single payer healthcare.........cut the employer out of the picture. Employer sponsored healthcare needs to go straight into the trash, in it's entirety. Your healthcare issues should have nothing to do with your job unless they render you incapable of performing your job.
