General Discussion

Back to the bad old days when you prayed that you had a state that required anyone with more than 10 employees was required to pay worker's comp insurance and you only got sick or injured at work, because the only heath care insurance that was "affordable" gave your family 1 each free GP visit a year, 20% off 4 visits a year per insuree for specialists, and 50% off coupons for pharmacy, lab work and other specific diagnostic tests at designated locations. No deductible.

I worked shipyards for a small company that had that insurance for 3 years, 1992 through 1996. Along with crappy dentist and vision.

I'm still carrying body trauma and damage from that period.

But one thing I can say - if that's the return to the type of insurance the GQP wants for poor and low pay working people, they can also proudly point out they're fixing the Social Security issue, by increasing the amount of people who won't last much past retirement...just like US in the 50's and 60's.
