| | | Health Insurance It's way to expensive for anything worthwhile.
And these 3,000-5,000 deductibles?
What's the point in paying all that money if I gotta break the bank all the same if something major happens?

| | | $3,000 - 5,000 is a mere drop in the bucket if something catastrophic happens.

Except that without the health insurance, the entire bill goes to you rather than $3,000-5,000.

| | | Not my responsibility... I've got kids to put through college. You need to get your employer to pay for a portion of it. Frankly, I think it is unethical he hire anyone without providing insurance, especially people doing manual labor.

| | | It cost $700 to have my daughter taken to the hospital by ambulance. The hospital is literally a 7 minute walk from my house. Next time she has to go to the emergency room, I'll take her myself.

| | | There are many critics of the union...but with free health benefits, 401k, over/double time, why would you complain?

| | | my uncle had a stroke that rendered him dependent on others for everything, and with no effective movement of his limbs. his therapies cost 3000 dollars a month. that's the deductible. he can't get any more insurance because he had cancer which is in remission.
