28. yeah ... and goddess forfend lowly employees should have "cadillac" plan

Thu Oct 30, 2014, 09:04 AM

Oct 2014

in other words, a plan that actually makes health care available.

We must be the stupidest population on the planet ... and I say that as one who always tries to have faith in the ultimate wisdom of the populace .... but my faith is frayed over this monstrosity ... I could be wrong, but the only people I know who have "cadillac" plans are those who's unions have somehow managed to maintain a decent plan ...

When I grew up, my father was USW working for a steel plant in PA. His family health insurance covered everything* - I mean everything.

*I believe it did not have dental - I base this on the fact that none of us got dental care.
