[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 1120338, member: 29972"] The fact that it costs more! It probably varies by what region you are in, but over here in the NW, the cost of my healthcare went up when I bid from part-time (company healthcare) to ft (union healthcare). I quickly learned what a "deductible" is on the union healthcare plan, and was surprised when I ended up at the emergency room and had to pay. the difference is really just nickel and dimes to us full-timers, making as much as we do. But as a part-timer making $100 a week, it would be a significant concession, and represent a significant portion of that $100. As a reference: PT company healthcare was 100% coverage, no deductible, and $10 copay at doctor visits. Emergency room visits were completely free with no copay. I had extensive dental work done as a part-timer and never paid a dime, except for 20% for the cost of a crown. Vision and contact lenses were also free. [/QUOTE]
