US major airline pay perspective

[Max Powers]

When surveyed most people think health care reform is a GREAT idea as long as you don't raise their taxes, or lower their current or future benefits. How do you convince 80% of the population that they should sacrifice for the other 20%. An impossible situation.

Us 80 percent don't have to sacrifice. We need to force those 20 percent to pay for insurance even if it is only a simple hospitalization plan. Under the current system, when this 20 percent becomes deathly ill we PAY FOR IT ANYWAY. So many people who can afford health care - especially the small business owner - don't pay for it especially in the 20- 45 age group. When they get in a car wreck, shot etc. We aren't going to let them die in the street we fix them up. Who pays for this "fix up". Those of us who are responsible and have insurance.

Social policy aside, this is what an actual labor union looks like, versus a social club/pension vehicle masqarading as a union.

My personal experience with the German health care system was quite an eye opener (esp. for someone that was always spoon fed since childhood the idea that the USA health care system was #1...proudly repeated, like it was the US Olympic team or something).

Post snipped for brevity.

One thing to keep in mind...German health care is run by efficient German bureaucrats, and the US equivelent will be run by counterpart to the FAA.

Exactly.

But leave it to these idiots to turn it into retarded political banter.

Do you poll the people who die?
