It used to be this way before bosses started paying all.some of the benefits, and health care was affordable for most people.

We had NO health care insurance when I was a teenager, and on our family's modest income, we all went to the doctor, dentist, got medicine and glasses.

Once the boss gets involved, he/she "owns" more of you than they ever should.

Employees should show up, do the work, and then go home to their own lives.

The boss should have NO interest in what you eat, if you smoke or drink or do whatever on your own time...unless of course, you show up for work drunk or light up on the job.

We traded freedom for some lousy health care insurance that often does far less than necessary, and is a major pain in the ass for most of us.

What we NEED is nationalized health care that is paid through our taxes, and paychecks that reflect what the bosses SAY they have been paying for our "care".
