Case in point:
My son broke his arm and the doctors were about to put a cast made of Kevlar on his arm. We said that we needed a cheaper cast because we were not maxed out on deductibles. They put on a regular plaster cast costing much less.
Btw,
We had insurance and it was before Obamacare. Do you know why? I had a job.
You think every job provided health insurance benefits before passage of the ACA?
Originally posted by normbenign I'm aware of the pay differential, from a two hour radio special I listened to. What was never asked, and therefore never answered, is why there are so many highly educated people unemployed?
My guess is that their education is of a type not in demand. A lot of jobs these days are education specific, not just requiring a bachelor's degree or above. ...[text shortened]... level give decent advise as to what education is going to be practical, and lead to employment?
The unemployment rate for college grads was 2.5% in February 2016 which is far lower than those with no college. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t04.htm
Originally posted by no1marauder You want the government to pass laws banning health insurance as a way to fight "socialism"?
Voluntary health insurance, either granted by an employer as part of wages, or paid for by a citizen is not socialism. It is not mandatory as part of being in a society or nation. It is an individual choice, either to purchase, or to accept the benefit as part of compensation.
A better example of socialism is the public financing of roads and highways.
