[QUOTE="BrownBrokeDown, post: 1200756, member: 46824"] Nice. This is exactly where I am out. They fixed some of the issues, and while not happy about a few, we just kinda got to eat it at this point. We have to keep the union healthy in the political enviroment that we have now. A lot of the politicions are out to bust unions at this point. We can't afford to have anything weaken us. I would add a c.) to your #2. People that either don't understand the recently revised Teamcare, or don't realize what is happening with healthcare in the rest of the country. Costs are either skyrocketing or companies are providing a lot (and I mean a LOT) less coverage for the same price. Insurance companies were jacking prices up before Obamacare passed, and now they are using the uncertainty of it to totally rape the American workers with the money coming out of your paycheck for it and the amount you pay at the doctor. Short version (rough but close estimates), my other job's insurance costs $55/week for you and spouse, $115/week you and family. Coverage: you pay everything (outside of the copays, and routine such as physicals, yearly checkups, etc) up to 1500/person, 3000/family, you then pay 20% up to out of pocket maximum:$3000/person, $5000/family. Lifetime max of $1,000,000 I belive. A heart transplant (one of the most expensive operations) is roughly a $2,500,000 operation. And wages avg between $10 and $18 dollars an hour for blue collar and non-management office personnel. [/QUOTE]
