Gee, the health care plan is kinda like the death penality. With the death penality, being for it or against usually depends on what end of the rope you are on.

I'm 45yo. Show me someone my age that does not have health insurance that would be against the health care plan.

Well over half of the employers in Arkansas do not offer health insurance for their employees. The majority of the employers that do provide health insurance is unaffordable for the employees to purchase. If you make $12.00/hr and health insurance cost $3.00/hr, it kinda cuts into your bottom line. I know there are not many people on here that make $12.00/hour, but like here in Arkansas, there are more $8.00/hr jobs than there are $25.00/hr jobs and the insurance cost the same no matter how much or little you make.

Yeah, I how, everybody needs to get educated so they can get a better paying job.

Gee, if everybody in the USA had a PhD., then someone with a PhD. would be scrubbing the toilets aand busing tables, so that doesn't really work either.

Jobs are kinda like a pyramid, a bunch of crappy ones at the bottom and only a few at the top.

Me? I went out and got a job that has great health insurance and everytime my employer runs a help wanted ad in the paper, there are +100 peeps apply for just one job and one of the main reasons is health insurance.

In the state of Arkansas, there are only 110 hourly employees at General Cable, where I work, but there are several thousand at MickeyD's.
