[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Co I worked for wanted more diversity, so employees with 30 + yr experience were forced out. If you didn't believe Drag queen bingo at a co. holiday party was awesome, you were given  s*&t assignments. Complain? Told,  seniority "doesn't count" because "we are in a pandemic"

IF the company culture was the same as it was pre-2019, I would NOT have been forced out & I would NOT chose to retire.  I refuse to return to work & take a low paying job- I just do not buy any extras, will not go on vacations, or give big gifts. I would rather do with less & wait for SS & Medicare to kick in. (So I have no income at all, except for what I withdrew from 401k & my savings)

Oh &  I have the lovely opportunity to pay over $32k/yr for health ins for myself & wife, (& we better not get sick because we have copays, coinsurance or we are really screwed) Can't qualify for any subsidies for ACA because I took $ out of my 401k, so we "make too much".

I can't regret retiring, because it was NOT my choice. But as a long time union member & Democrat, I certainly regret paying union dues & my voting choices.

If you are not being forced out, I would not retire until you can get SS & Medicare.  [/quote]

why don't you just diet and exercise and  keep the 32K in your pocket instead of handing to the health insurance industry and their lobbyists , executive salaries and stock investor dividend checks

Need health care: go to minute clinic

OR, buy a plain ticket to ANY European country and show up in their ER- you know, where medical care is FREE and they have no mechanism to even bill you because its too foreign to them

Obama Care is, in fact, nothing but a coerced subsidy to the health insurance industry

It DOES NOT cost $800/mos for health care when you never need the services of a Doctor. These companies are literally racketeers and should all be prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license

If all of America would JUST STOP paying them and demand Nationalized Health Care like ALL of Europe, Australia, NZ and Canada...oh... and Russia and Cuba and Iran.... and Israel - we'd all save nearly $1,000/mos
 
How is THAT for an Economic stimulus and a Leg Up to Small business owners- just GET RID of the Health Insurance Industry- instant economic BOOM

Not everything can be fixed through diet and exercise.

I do agree with you on a single payer system.  The government could easily enact laws that removes the walls erected by these entities across state lines - All insurance should be accepted across the country.  All medical professionals should be allowed to work in all states.  One of the best medical plans out there is the Federal govt. employee plan.  Open that up to everyone (with subsidies for the poor; charge a premium for the rich, etc.).  Negotiate prices with pharma companies; Allow immigration of a million more doctors, nurses and other medical professionals.  When the only person paying you is the federal government and there are enough service providers (vs. the artificial scarcity of today created by the medical cartels), watch all the doctors, hospitals and pharma companies fall in line.
