Mr.Roboto Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Those bastards, advertising to groups that differ from you. They need to pull the ads that might be seen by the blacks, the Jews and Italians too. Seriously, what is this world coming to?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sista Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 No human being, regardless of sexual,religous or national orientation, who works for the same company as we do or did, should face exclusion from any benefit they are entitled to. Period. The fact that psych counselling is included is to assure such radical treatment is in the best interests of the individual, both pre and post treatment. I do not profess to understand the all of some individuals psyche or choice, but I do understand the hard work we do daily, each of us, and that work is compensated by financial and insurance benefit. Once treatment of any kind is determined to be appropriate for ANY condition by a legitimate medical professional, further discussion on lifestyle no longer matters. The healthcare crisis is real, and there are new challenges daily. Insurance is big business, and with the foreseeable decline in the health of aging baby boomers, I fear Corporate decisions in insurance approval for treatment of diagnosed terminal illness more than anything. Scary world. Perhaps the larger threat to future benefits lies in fraudulent comp claims and utilization of an emergency room to avoid an AWOL.

whereswaldo Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Perhaps the larger threat to future benefits lies in ....utilization of an emergency room to avoid an AWOL. Um ... emergency room visits arent covered unless we are admitted. And with the new attend.policy , its a strike against you anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trimdingman Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) Get rid of health insurance. Pay the equivalent in a wage increase. The cost of medical procedures would adjust to what individual people could afford. Then a person could have himself changed into a kangaroo if he wanted to. It would be nobody's business but his own. Edited December 30, 2007 by Trimdingman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
