[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 739054, member: 12570"] Tell that to the 300 people who showed up to a local job fair for [B]1[/B] janitorial position with the local school district. Or to the local people who worked for Pfizer who have been told that there jobs will be eliminated and they can either follow the work to CT or find work elsewhere. In some cases both spouses worked for Pfizer and both are facing the same choice. Co-payments actually lower our overall healthcare costs as people tend to assess the situation before rushing to the doctor. Our local recently raised our co-pays to $10 for an office visit and $100 to go to the ER. $10 is not going to stop anyone but $100 would make me stop and think as to whether I really need to go to the ER or can I wait and see my doctor. wolf, we may be in a recession, but at $30/hr you won't get much sympathy from the unemployed (or from me, for that matter).
