Begging for Change

Yes I took a job that pays for all my health benefits, also, my college, and I retire in 3 more years with 40-60,000 of college money as well. No matter what degree I hold. I can also transfer that college money to anyone in my family as well. I guess some just make better choices than others. And I only pay Federal Tax every other year. I do not pay state taxes

This seems to be dripping with sarcasm.

I can legitimately tell you that health care premiums are keeping me from hiring more employees. As a small business, I do not have the economic leverage it takes to negotiate with insurance companies like the government or corporations. So, really, it is not about choices, it is about what options are realistically available.

Also, some people have more options than others when it comes to making choices. Laid off people can pay $1k per month in cobra.

A little slow on the uptake here. I get it, you are in the military. If so, I appreciate you and thank you for your service.

I wish I could see people like you on TV spreading the word instead of the planted insurance workers acting as "concerned citizens" at the town hall meetings getting so much undeserved attention in the mainstream media. PS I was slow on the update as well reading the post from tracysman2328. Joining the military, while noble, is a risky proposition and one I would never want for my son.
