This is where the rubber meets the road.
So I know a guy.
His wife has worked over 30 years for an insurance company so big that they insure insurance companies. No union of course. She's having some health issues and has blown through the 12 weeks of FMLA.
In the middle of trying to get well, she had to be sure to get an approved "accommodation" to not keep her job, but her employment. She's lucky, they approved and that will keep her in medical coverage another 8 weeks. If she can't come back to work before then she'll have to carry her insurance on cobra at $887 a month. She loses her pension ..........over 30 years working there and because she won't make it to 65 this company will keep the money.
I have no idea if what will happen to her is legal. Doesn't matter. They will get away with it ......... because we let them.
This man cried in front of me today. Big burly guy. Cried buckets.
His wife is sick.
She may end up on disability.
She's in pain.
The doctors don't know what else to do.
She may lose her insurance in the middle of all this.
She's probably going to lose everything she worked a lifetime to build.
Mentally the mean corporation isn't helping her any.
They are both exhausted. Tired of fighting a messed up medical system. incompetent office staff in doctor offices and her predator company.
The money they could somehow work out if it weren't for paying for medical care.
While she and her husband cry themselves to sleep her state and federal governments don't give a flying shit.
While she and her husband cry themselves to sleep the 8 people who own the vast majority of her company's stock don't give flying shit.
None of this started because ferret head got hisself elected. It started decades ago.
Keep your eye on the ball people. Remember what matters.
