[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1112606, member: 43436"] I can just picture you cuddling with Barney, singing "I love UPS, UPS loves me, they want to take care of the health of my family..." Wrong. The fundamental problem with our health care system is that it relies on employers to take care of us ... and health care has long been low-hanging fruit for companies looking to increase profits. [U]UPS doesn't give a damn about you[/U] -- it's in business to generate profits. While it's easy to point fingers elsewhere, the reality is that over our past two contracts, FedEx Ground has developed as a fierce competitor and UPS is now challenged with the daunting task of addressing its high labor costs. Even without ObamaCare, you'd be asked to pay a portion of your health care expenses, and to think otherwise is foolish. God forbid you lose your job tomorrow ... but then try finding affordable health insurance. You won't be able to. You whine about socialism, but then cradle the benefits of socialism (e.g. health insurance). Interestingly, since the introduction of ObamaCare, the pace of accelerating health care costs has slowed ... and nobody has a definite explanation as to why. [/QUOTE]
