This is an industry wide issue, not just through Obamacare. The insurance I have through my job has become more expensive and covers less each year without fail. Since I haven't had a cost of living increase (or anything else resembling a raise) in eight years, it nets out to an annual reduction in my take-home pay every January. What's more, since my company and carrier are based in Florida, they often consider NY medical costs too high against national standards to cover them in full.
As others have said, the whole healthcare situation here is a mess, and it's unlikely to really improve anytime soon.
That's, what I'm supposing on it, too. But, it seems to have it's aficionados until today. I mean, the price of the storebrand ones, here, is ridiculous and it don't look, that they will get out of market.I have a long nightshirt that I picked up last year. I find that I tend to get it all twisted up around me as I roll.
Insurance companies are in business to make profits, not to provide health care. They can increase their profits by either increasing premiums or decreasing coverage. Either way, you are screwed.
Market-economy is like "Weyland-Yutani Insurance Division" would offer healthcare-insurance policies.
This thread seems to be veering away from the trivial, so to get back on track:
Shoelaces that won't stay tied unless you double knot them, or are so long that that double knotting is needed to keep them a reasonable length.
Bartenders, please see post #4059 in this thread in addition to the one #4067 I copied here. This member - who I like and respect - has taken to comments like this that, based on my read of the guidelines / policy set out by FL, are blatant political commentary.
As noted in post #4059, we all sway a bit there sometimes, but these posts from Trenchfriend are just full-on modern-day political views delivered in an aggressive manner. As I just hinted at in #4059, if this arrant political commentary is now allowed, I'll open up barrage of that type of commentary back at him, but I don't believe FL wants that - nor do I.
Please clarify the rules as one of us - and maybe it is me - doesn't understand what is or is not allowed.
Thank you, Fading Fast
I think we've gone about as far as we need to with the health care discussion -- there's a line, and we all know when it's crossed or about to be crossed, so it's best now to just let it lie. As Fred Allen once defined the work of a committee, we've come together and after great discussion have agreed to agree that nothing can be done.
Any further on the subject can be taken up in PM, while we get back to trivialities that tick us off.
I hate round waxed shoelaces. They're stiff, clumsy, and don't stay tied. I really, really hate round waxed shoelaces. I scour eBay for old-stock flat cotton shoelaces so I don't have to use the ridiculous round ones that are the only ones you can find in stores now.
My Dad showed me how to tie double knot so the other kids could not easily untie my shoe laces. Worked like a charm, so I still tie double to this day.This thread seems to be veering away from the trivial, so to get back on track:

My workplace break room is out of regular (caffeinated) tea. I've brought some from home because otherwise it's a serious health and safety issue for my coworkers and students.
