They faster and more affordable as they dont have the immense overhead of a full blown hospital. What do you mean by "in house medical monitoring of employees". Piss tests? Also, how much more affordable is the care from these places than say the ER or your local family practitioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our environmental guys have to get yearly physicals with chest xrays, blood tests and yeah for the DOT cards we need drug tests. And working in some of these hospitals we need to get all kinds of vaccines and shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that makes your personal insurance costs so high or is it just because of the area you live in? I remember what some in Minn. were paying a few years back for the same basic coverage we had here in Pa and holy hell alot higher for them. Now that I think about it, the wince posted a while back that his costs were pretty high as well, and he's in the same area as you right?

The good news is alot of stores are getting on the band wagon now and selling healthier versions of our regular items. Until recently about the only place you could go for this kind of stuff is whole foods aka "whole paycheck" . so the free market works? call me shocked.

racer254 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have a friend that has hospice. The supplier of morphine keeps sending packages of the stuff and she doesn't need it. The family has to refuse the stuff or it just keeps coming. The bill is paid through medicare. Tell me that isn't a waste and just think how many times that happens. That type of shit is all planned and the morphine supplier knows that they will keep getting paid until it is refused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just for insurance, not including co pays and prescriptions, deductibles, etc... Funny how everybody talks about how we can't afford it well who do you think pays for your health insurance fucking genius? And why are companies moving out if the country at record pace, hiring employees as "contractors" and cutting benefits, increasing employee out of pocket expenses and reducing coverages more every year? It's time to have an intelligent conversation about this and not the fucking party rhetoric and shit the media is feeding you. Because really most people DONT understand the topic. That's fucking insane dude , but I believe it . Most people have their employer on the cuff for at least half of it or more so they have no idea . I went without it for 2 years .
