    It seems every company I’ve ever gone to charges about $70 per week for insurance with a $3000-4000 deductible, which doesn’t even include my spouse. It would be nice to commit to a company that could commit to my family’s welfare a bit better than that.

    Why not you commit to your families welfare and buy your own insurance? Employer paid is part of why the system is so screwed up. They don't do it because they care, they do it for the tax deduction and not having to pay SSI on it.

    Why do so many people feel they are entitled to free everything these days?

    75% company paid is not good enough for you?
    Try paying for it all by yourself then.
    And you can reduce that deductible by simply paying more each week.

    Maybe it's because the illegal aliens, who somehow manage to get freebies. that the hard working man has to pay for is becoming contagious among the native population. Everywhere you look people get free stuff and I'm not one of them, so I'm jealous and envious:rolleyes:.

    From a wage standpoint drivers can hardly even support a household, it's like paying the insurance scam just keeps a driver more broke. Insurance is a scam and nothing will change my mind about it, your experience may vary, but whatever.

    To be honest I'm sick of hearing about all these CEO's who run the companies into the ground, but somehow manage to get bailed out or get a golden parachute for themselves and the board. Corporate tax cuts in the best of times and corporate socialism in the bad times. It's a rigged game, don't you see it?

    Life from the beginning has been a rigged game, so what's new?

    Adam and Eve, Cain and Able; from the very beginning it has been rigged.
    So what is new?

    The rich and powerful lord over the weak and poor.
    So, what is new?

    Being jealous and envious gets you nowhere, except down into a pit.

    There is nothing new under the sun...
    What has happened before will happen again.
    We are just pawns in the game.

    Unless, of course, you are smart enough - and more than intelligent enough - to change the system to something more to your liking.
    And you will have to do it on your own, not with crowds of people backing you up.
    Because while a person can be smart as well as intelligent, people are dumb and stupid.

    And there is always the risk of turning into the thing you hate while bringing the thing you want.
