Ah the old insurance thing...train folk to believe they will lose
everything they have if they don't pay $300-800 per month for insurance
that doesn't even cover their medical needs. It all makes me nuts!
I'm 54 years old, was in the work force my whole life, and never was
covered by an employer. It was always held out like a carrot. Work a
little harder...be a little more dedicated...maybe next year we'll cover
you. Even working for Federal agencies...things were manipulated so there
was an hour missing here or there and you become a temp. I've known
Federal Firefighters who have been "temporary" for over 20 years. This
makes it easier to eliminate them when they're older leaving them broken
and wheezing with no retirement or medical help.
I decided the only "insurance" that really exists is somewhere in the rows
of organic veggies, the bundles of herbs, the clean water and air of the
farm. We have to take care of ourselves and not live in the fear of
corporate threats..........
