Health Insurance

[Junket]

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.

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

Exactly, so it doesn't even matter at that point.

[vashti]

???

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

I can guarantee you're in a much better position to pay that off than I.

[vashti]

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.

[Junket]

Yeah...everybody I work with says Cotton Electric sucks.

My two options are Gracie Hart Electric.

Or the Union.

[vashti]

Can you join the union? I'd go that way if I were you.

My Uncle's bill last month for 7 days in the hospital was over $100K

[Kiechi]

^ Are you joking me...

[vashti]

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.

[Junket]

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

[misombra]

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.

Isn't that ridiculous?

I know when I got hit by that truck a few months ago they were askin if I wanted an ambulance to take me I was like "NOooooooooooo".
