How do other people survive with healthcare costs

[UnionStrong]

The point is Dems feel comfortable putting penalties on regular folk-union workers for what they see as "having too good benefits".

Because they suck.

But they all want the union vote.

Is this because the Dems want everyone to be the same kinda like in socialism/communism?

The biggest thing that drove up cost post Obama are was the mandate to cover pre existing conditions,


Back then prior to Obama care I worked in car dealers, for those that don't know car dealers are among the scummiest people on the planet, anyway

In the late 90s this dealer I was working at had a lead tech that was always miserable.. I found out his wife had cancer and after years of fighting it she passed, this guy takes some time off then with no notice comes in with a truck to get his box.. first the manager comes over then owner both trying to talk him into staying, offering a raise etc.

I overhead him finally blow up and tell them.. "you know what I am actually releived my wife died so I can finally quit this ing place and tell you what a POS I think you are"

Turns out once they knew he could not leave because he needed insurance they started screwing him.. I know they cut his pay and gave him the bad jobs that didn't pay well. I don't know for certain if it was done intentionally but what the long time employees told me he started getting ed right ofter she got cancer.

I know many of you are UPS lifers and have been here since early adulthood so changing jobs is foreign to you but for many people that preexisting condition mandate was huge.

Also, to be fair the plan was modeled after Romney care here in Massachusetts,we have a requirement to carry coverage here, by striking down the requirement to carry insurance that made the insurance companies raise prices since they could not offset the costs with younger people that the requirement to carry insurance brought into the system.

So you weren't taxed because your benefits were too good. Nether was I or anyone else. Just another Republican scare tactic.

Wrong. Democrats put the union tax in the bill. They own it.

The availability of high-quality health care has been a top selling point for those who belong to unions. It is a benefit these workers have bargained for, and oftentimes they have sacrificed higher pay for these excellent insurance benefits. What business is it of Congress that these employees have prioritized their health care in such a way?

Taxing workers for having good health care benefits just doesn't make sense.

Teamcare, Medicare, Tricare, and the VA. I suppose there is a point here?

How much were you taxed?

And why would the elected representatives of the people seek to tear down such efforts by slapping such high fees on these working Americans?

I appreciate your dedication for continuing to work.

Even though, you are not culminating any further medical or pension contributions.


Just giving it back to the company....
