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.
Exactly this.
Though I wonder what will happen now that Boeing has done this evil deed. Can the union itself step in and continue health coverage until the strike is resolved? Or are the strikers just screwed if they get sick?
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 1400-2k.*
Far fingers*
Cobra is asptly named. Bunch of fucking snakes.
$680 fuckin dollars while I’m unemployed, per month??? Get da fuck outta heah
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.
I hope entire Boeing employees strike.
Universal health is socialism tho
Feeding kids too
It’s weird how every other civilized country seems to make it work, though.
Also, Boeing is being outcompeted by a company that pays its workers well, and that is considered a good employer, and that makes planes in countries with high taxes and universal care.
Clearly we taxpayers didn’t give Boeing enough state aid 🤡
