[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1187545, member: 43436"] The average 10-year FT (40/hr week) Walmart employee in California earns about 20K/year. The co-premium for family benefits in most areas is in excess of 5K/year -- and it's for an HMO with a $1000 deductible, $30 office visit co-pays, etc. The "Walmart" effect has spread to most other low-skill employers as well; Walmart has lead the pact in dumping health care -- or pricing it so high, few will nibble at it. What's not sustainable is the current system of relying on employers to willingly provide health insurance, when it contradicts their goal of profitability. To suggest that the burden of the un/underinsured on the system is primarily illegals just proves your ignorance. While I don't expect it to change your opinion, I do suggest you educate yourself with real facts and turn off conservative talk radio that bases itself more on entertainment and less on facts.
