Then in your opinion just how should insurance be? Waht form should it take? BTW what is one of the main drivers behind insurance premiums? It's the care providers legal requirement to provide care and treatment to people regardless of whether they have insurance or not. Their license requires it. So you tell me. How is the hospital to recoup it's costs other than to pass it through onto insurers who have to pass it on to their subscribers through higher premiums. You got a better way? Refuse treatment you might say? Ever hear of The Patients Bill of Rights?
You never answer the question. Are 97% of all small businesses that can’t pay insurance the issue or just Ground?
I don’t have much desire to get into a lengthy battle about fixing insurance on a ups message board with you but the first start is for hospitals not to charge 10,000% markup on medications that can be bought OTC. I believe on my wife’s last bill each ibuprofen was charged around $13 a pill............but knowing you, you will probably say that is legitimate.
Ever hear of standardizing wealth to give to others that don’t have it, or take the risks to make it themselves.........I’m not a communist.
I am a completely different generation from you. I was always told SS wouldn’t be there for me, pensions were dead, unions were awful, and if I didn’t take care of myself and invest wisely there would be a good chance I’d be screwed.
If you are dependent of someone to take care of you, you are setting yourself up. It’s unfortunate but it is the world that we live in nowadays.
Next thing you will be on is universal income so people can get paid just to exist. Probably will happen since automation is killing more jobs which in turn equals less benefits (your hot button) plus no income.
