    100% agree. One of the best things that we could do for families is to detach healthcare from employment. Employers shouldn’t be able to hold that over you.

      2 of the 4 guys in my department are only here for the insurance… They suffer with us in the sweltering heat for a job they don’t actually need to do just because insurance is so expensive… Another guy is 68 working in the sanding department getting covered in aluminum dust all day just for the insurance…

      They make enough for themselves outside of work that they don’t even need to be here. It’s so disgusting that people are in this position…
