I've dealt with my share of not having insurance and being impaled with medical bills. But, I put myself into positions now where my employer has benefits. I like the industry I'm in, because most hotels offer benefits- even non-corporate hotels I've worked for.
I don't agree that we need to throw anymore money in the fire. I don't trust the people voted in to do a good job, because they consistantly do dumb things. And, gosh darn it, I find it hard to believe some days that these are educated people. But then I remember... Most of our presidents and elected officials were in fraternities and sororities... Then I think about my college days. Makes sense now.
