Affordable Care Act

perhaps if the executives sacrificed a small percentage for the rest of their lower level employees this wouldn't be a problem. but they deserve that absurd money, and your friend deserves this trouble she's in. have you suggested she pull up her boot straps? i've heard more money can be found there, and it might motivate her to get a better paying job with better benefits. just a thought. just don't suggest the higher-ups not bathe in money each morning.

Your rich envy would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Actually - she hates her job and is going to school for occupational therapy. I don't agree with the decision - but she just wants to help people

Maybe she should have whored herself out like you suggested.

The good news is - ACA is working for her!!

Actually ACA is working for her. Just like it would work for you -- if you took time away from bitching about it and learned how to use it

Man, I did some jiggery-pokery to myself last night and I am so sore this morning.

No it's not... her health care costs have risen substantially (as have mine) even though we are young and healthy. Always gots to be subsidizing, though

i have nothing against rich people, at all. the people who own my company are rich, and they're great. they sacrifice a tad when they need to in order to keep their employees and clearly value all of them, even the "unskilled" ones.

so she pays $1200 a month to make $52K in loans and is going BACK to school? yikes.

but yeah the problem is definitely trying to get everyone health care, not the people at the top of her company making millions upon millions "because they're worth it." definitely.

She has to pay $150 per month for HC and repay her college loans on $52K a year.
Tell her to shut up and go to work .. Jesus

Why do your friends think living in the USA should be free or require only voluntary contributions?
That is what bugs me about all of this.
No adult likes paying taxes but you know, the oldest saw in the box is "there are only two certainties in life death and ... "

Can I assume you never heard that before ?

LOL... isn't it you who think the people should be living here for free? We're the ones complaining about half the country getting a free ride

After you show where the federal government has singular responsibility for the outrageous cost of college please show where I ever said anyone should get anything for free

i'm fully ok with some people making more than others.
i make more than your friend. my company helps me out with HC more than lockheed does for your friend despite the fact they're a way bigger company with way bigger profits. and i will be paying less in student loans when mine start to come in. where did she go wrong?

there is no reason lockheed can't have a similar plan to my company. well, actually there is a reason: their higher-ups who need dat bonus!

*edit: WAY less in student loans.

And they also have (i'm guessing) a ton more employees and operating costs... and shareholders to answer to

not if they don't have income.
but hopefully getting them or their children to college at an affordable (or no) cost will give them the ability to earn income one day and "contribute to society."

Well - I hope you're writing those extra checks. You seem to be doing quite well
