My husband is in the union at his job and they just voted to take a $110.00 a week paycut, just so the company didn't have to go bankrupt. If it wasn't for the insurance, he'd be out looking for a new job. I've got to be on medication so if we were to lose our insurance, it would never be covered since it's considered pre-existing. We pay cash for everything cause we don't want to pay a credit card company out the ass. He's a very hard worker and other venders try to get him to work for them. But he won't leave cause he's been there for almost 9 yrs. We don't have anything handed to us and we couldn't even get a home loan cause of his credit history from 10yrs ago!!! Yet an acquaintance of mine has 3 kids, gets student loans for nursing school that she has dropped out of twice, food stamps, medicaid and her father-in-law pays her mortgage. GO GOVERNMENT!!!
