Health care is a human right.

The US healthcare system is a massive dumpster fire. Every single resident should have the same healthcare insurance as the politicians. Socialize it and cap costs like they do in the 1st World countries.

If it’s Boeing, I’m not going to

This will help the state of the company for sure.

I hope entire Boeing employees strike.

The planes are unhealthy, maybe making the employees unhealthy too will help balance things out.

Introduce say…shall we call it CHIPS and Sciences Act 2 (milk that sequel).
More jobs in the semiconductor industry, microchips for everyone in the country to track them because everyone is evil, especially those darn foreigners.
Except you know it’s none of that and it hides healthcare for everyone instead, and no politician would ever know because like why the fuck would actually read something and those who do well, I’m sure they’d understand the purpose.

The first thing we need to do to fix healthcare in this country is to decouple health insurance from our jobs. If you lose your job you should not lose your health benefits. And no, cobra is not a substitute.

Cobra sucks. “hey you have no income now because you were laid off, want to pay $850/month to continue your health insurance?”

More like 2400-2k.

I was shocked to be in a situation recently where it actually made sense to continue partial coverage (my $20/m dental)
