Reply #10: What you don't realize is that the unions

[prolesunited]

negotiated MUCH better health care plans for their employees than Medicare. You don't need to buy supplemental coverage or pay much for prescriptions. My dad was a union steelworker and among the minority who was able to keep his union-negotiated plan.

He hardly pays anything for his multiple conditions and meds, but he also worked his ass off and risked death daily on the job to *earn* that guarantee.

That's why bankruptcy is such a popular option among the union-dominated industries. They get to ditch the legacy costs associated with fulfilling these obligations while remaining in business or leveraging themselves as an attractive takeover target.
