***********************This is NOT POLITICAL***********PLEASE lets not make it into something else other than words************Sadly because of cost, healthcare is becoming one of the fastest disappearing work benefits there is. Full coverage used to be a gimmie. Many companies, (even the larger one's), are either doing away with it entirely, or else charging large payroll deductions to help support it.
Just after I retired from the company I was working for back in 2014, they ended their full coverage, in favor of a, "healthcare savings account" that offered very minimal coverage.
This is only going to get worse as time marches on, until the government takes over the entire healthcare market..... And good luck with that.
I never forgot the quote from a very nice POTUS who (unfortunately like most of them the last few decades) are equally LOVED and HATED. This sadly shows the almost right down the middle SPLIT in the feelings of Americans these days..... So to the quote. Always thought while it is certainly clever it is SPOT ON 100% TRUE. Quote= The most horrifiying comment, likely heard upon answering your door has to be: "Hello, I am from the US Government!" YIKES.....
I get it and of course YIKES because I can not name one single thing the US government has got its paws into for the past 50-70 years that has been improved. I HOPE I am wrong and then maybe some of us BITOG folks can point out what the things are they have not screwed up.
