Sadly, most of the "poor" who can't "afford" healthcare have their top of the line cellphones, cellphone plans, flat screen TV, cable TV at home....albeit in a double wide, but they still have it. Also, I noticed most waffle house waitresses smoke. At $6 per pack, that's nearly $200 per month alone. If they got rid of these luxury items they could afford healthcare. It is all about choices.

I already saw the writing on the wall with regards to the pay history of the industry and the direction benefits were taking. Leaving the regionals and the rat race of the US aviation industry for a healthy pay and benefits increase was one of the best decisions that I ever made.

Proof that college can't fix stupid....

Just curious... what do you perceive as 'stupid' about his statement?

Let's see... one beautiful thing about the US is that everyone has a choice. A choice to be stupid, to be educated, to PURSUE happiness whatever that may be for them.

Varmint simply pointed out that people make their own destiny as a result of the choices they made. If you want to spend $200 on cigarettes vs. on medical insurance, it's your own choice, but you have to accept the consequences of your choices. Very simple concept called accountability for your actions/decisions.

Are you guys honestly saying that life circumstance has nothing to do with getting ahead in life? Everyone has a story, and most of us are truly privileged to be where we are. Had we grown up in poverty, a split household, abuse, hunger, lack of education, stable housing, etc. I'm confident that the opportunity would not have presented itself or, if it did would have, been very difficult to grasp. I guess someone who is 7 years old should see that and start making the right choices at that point????
