A long time ago I used to work for a plumbing company.
Those plumbers made damn close to minimum wage.
It was a job where the wives earned the money and husbands needed somewhere to go every day.
I earned a little bit more because I was a HVAC tech.
-------------
One day, one of our employees , (from Belize) comes in and he's all pissed off.
He finds out his quote from Kaiser is the same amount as an individual as it is on the company plan.
The manager says "BULLSHT ! we contribute a lot to the health insurance plan"
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
The answer is they're both right.
The employee pays nearly the same amount as if he bought insurance on his own, and the health insurance company charges the employer on their plan.
WHY THE FK WOULD AN INSURANCE COMPANY GIVE ANY EMPLOYED PERSON A DISCOUNT???
When a person walks in off the street, they don't know how much money they have.
When an employer walk in and says "i need a plan for 200 people" , everyone is employed, everyone is making money ...no discounts.
People in America have to accept the fact these rates are fictional, not based on anything.
