[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1076925, member: 43436"] [b]Re: Health Benefit Shock[/b] When uninsured 20-year-olds experience ill health, who's paying? You. When Laquita decides to have her sixth baby, who's paying? You. When cancer & HIV patients are unable to purchase health insurance, who's paying for their care? You. As I just mentioned, people without health insurance are already seeking access to health care -- but only have few, limited options. Hopefully with full access, they'll seek treatment sooner, and use conventional, less expensive options. BTW, I would consider "retirees" to be non contributors. Very few companies offer retirees health insurance -- and the ones that do generally have incredibly high premiums. Maybe what's wrong with America is headlines like "Local Walmart fires employees making more than $9/hour, gives Management millions in bonuses for doing so." (BTW, this actually happened several years ago at a location near me.) We need to stop accepting $7.20 as fair, living wage standards and the millions of dollars paid in executive bonuses as OK. It doesn't happen in many other developed countries around the world. [/QUOTE]
