Now that health care insurance is not tied to their job they can quit and start that business they always dreamed of creating. Am I the only person who has heard many people over the years admit they turned down a job doing something they really loved because it didn't include a health insurance plan?
It is just stunning how the wingers immediately assume the very very worst possible scenario re this new option for working and insurance coverage. If Reagan had or some other Republican saint had come up with this plan the decoupling would be framed as a new FREEDOM for HARD WORKING AMERICANS but since it is now part of the ACA it is portrayed as a slippery slope to laziness.
Since we now have more people looking for work than available jobs it sounds like a good deal for everyone if those who don't really need the money could cut back on their hours or drop that second or third job and let someone else have it.
WOW...so it is governments job to decide who needs a job, how many jobs they want or how many hour they should work so as all the wealth is spread equally regardless of whether they work or not.
What's that word for that? Sochi...no sounds like that but that's where the Winter Olympics are being held. Something like that....
PLEASE explain to us how it HELPS the economy if one person who is earning $60,000 per year, working three jobs is WORSE then TWO people, one earning $40,000 a year and one $20,000 per year. Would you do that for us please?
