Here's the latest in how corporate employers hurt the common worker: by taking away their healthcare coverage.

United Auto Workers are striking against GM. Whole Foods just pulled the same stunt as GM.

"Whole Foods is owned by Amazon, whose CEO Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth of over $114 billion. A new analysis by the consumer watchdog Decision Data finds “Bezos makes more money than the cost of an entire year of benefits for these 1,900 employees in somewhere between 2 to 6 hours.”

I am not independently wealthy, nor did my parents die and leave all their assets to me (trust fund or annuity), nor have I ever won any proverbial lottery..... but my mom has been a nurse all her life (52 years of duty, as an 80 year old lady) and even she knows how crooked the medical industry is and the IRS. The only reason she still works 55 hours a week, and is co-owner of a business, is to generate income to pay monthly diabetic expenses for my three brothers who cannot be insured due to how the state of Idaho (run by the GOP) runs the show on who gets to be covered and who pays the most.

Will a Socialized Medicine model be a better productive way to care for people, rather than the American modeled medical industry that is robbing people left and right, no matter where the person is on the spectrum of wealth (poorest to richest, antiquated model)?


In my mind, socialized medicine seems to be working in other countries and while it may not be perfect, at least the socialized model of medical care is not like the rabid monster of care in our country --> which is sterile and cares nothing for people themselves or their wellbeing, but cares only for the money and the money-master it serves.
