Don't forget, those weekly health care premiums you pay are after takes are taken out. So your weekly payment is already taxed @ about 25%. If you pay 100.00 per week for family coverage, think 125.00 a week. Closer to the true cost. The government should make our Medical payments completely exempt from taxes. @ ABF I was blessed for 18 years never having to pay weekly premiums. With a yearly low out of pocket, free cat scans & MRI’s using the right vendor. I was way ahead money wise working under a good union contract with good benefits. Now, to get those benefits, I paid 60 bucks a month in dues. But based on non-union medical premiums, day & night I would chose a union job. Will they have to start paying for medical? More than likely. But until then jump on board & ride it till the wheels fall off. Von.

Health care benefits are generally tax free, so the $200 per week lower pay for 40 house at YRC is worth free healthcare????
Not to mention the loss to inflation or the 75% cut to pension payments..
But don't worry some Socialist Democrats are promising a European style 'free healthcare' program.
Totally free just a 20% Value Added Tax on everything you purchase.. But it's free... or you can purchase a private policy in addition to the free healthcare like in the UK. All because the free healthcare stinks....
Your choice...
