Thanks for calling me out 14w.. I don't feel I am mis-representing myself at all.. I'm expressing my opinion and that is the beauty of a forum.
My views on the Union have been the same way since I was driving. They have nothing to do with how hard my job will be.. I give %110 everyday, I work to satisfy myself, not others. Like I said before, If it comes, I will go elsewhere. I keep my CDL for reasons other than having a cool liscense.
As far as the Health Insurance.. If you are not satisfied, I understand that.. I was not satisfied before, I am content right now because for the first time in 8 years the premiums did not rise, and I am able to save myself money by customizing my plan.
I left the company not too long ago and went elsewhere for more money.. paid what i gained back in insurance cost, and the company sucked when it came to anything other than promises.
Two years ago, I helped bring a beautiful little girl into the world.. cost me $150.00.. Unfortunately she has a condition that has required multiple test and alot of medication. I pay more in gas a month than I do to keep my child healthy and go to the doctor twice a month. I would think the views on Health Care would be mixed.. and I understand your view completely. Never have I forced my opinion on anyone, but will not hold back when it comes to expressing it.
If you know me, you know that I was almost killed in a motorcycle wreck two years ago.. If I had the insurance that my wife had at the time.. I would still be paying.
My views on this website are not from my status of employment.. I am not from a foreign planet and bleed green blood. I put my pants on just like everyone else. I am not married to my job nor those I work for. My views are just that.. Mine..
Thats why I love this sight.. I am not silenced by anyone (except the mods).
In my opinion of Healthcare, It's not going to get any better until the goverment steps in. As Americans we should all be researching the political side of the Healthcare issue and controlling it that way.. It's not the Trucking Companies that are getting rich off it..
