Quote:And, I reiterate, I damn well don't want to pay for the costs of your bad decisions.
I don't know the health regulations in Alabama, however I'm sure the state could simply make all their workers get private insurance, thus negating any *tax* on the middle-man for medical coverage issues like this one. I know you folks up in Canada get full coverage for your medical expenses, but suffer a tax rate of near 50% if I remember correctly. If you are correct about the citizens of Alabama paying a tax for state-workers insurance, then I hardly consider it fair for the "middle-man" in Alabama to be paying a tax for state-workers medical insurance in the first place; I wonder what the ratio of state-workers :to: common workers is in Alabama.
