Imagine all that $ your employer claims as part of your benefits, a much larger portion can go directly to you?

Imagine not sweating healthcare after being laid off?

Imagine not having to pay crazy high pill bills you need to survive?

Many many more I am sure, I know first hand of at least one of those.

Priorities, this helps many more and would continue on helping, instead of this one shot BS, has tuition suddenly gone down?
