[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1094066, member: 43436"] Oh boy, more fallacies. Health insurance premiums have risen more than 60% in the past 8 years; nearly 97% of workers with employer-sponsored health insurance pay a portion of their premium (average is 21-27%, depending on the source) - and the benefits aren't nearly as good as what UPSers enjoy. Couple that with UPS's steadily aging workforce, and it's easy to see why the company wants us to pay a portion of our insurance. Our health care system is in a crisis that began 30 years ago, when companies began dumping / diluting insurance in favor of larger profits. The burden of the un/underinsured has created a domino effect ... even without ObamaCare, this domino effect is going to see the crisis worsen. At least Obama is trying to do something about it. I have absolutely no problem paying a small portion of my health insurance. But I expect a big raise (I'm PT) and an increase in the guarantee to 4.5 hours (I'm chased out typically after three hours, and have to beg for 3.5 ... typically I average less than 18 hours/week).
