Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

If you knew about how a business works, why aren't you running a business or being a success in something instead of posting anonymously?

Well, if you haven't gotten a new job, this ending of employer insurance may get you an enrollment window through the PPACA (Obamacare). Depending on your income situation, you might be able to get a decent subsidy.

Where you have no clue, just blame someone. Anyone. And be loud about it.

Response to:
Quit your bellyaching about illegal aliens. AT&T has been paying your insurance. Now you know how much they have been paying for you. So ungrateful.

You have no idea how business works. You really think the company pays (subsidizes) our medical insurance? They use employees own money, in the form of 401k, pension, etc., and use it to invest "our money" and to pay our insurance with the profits they make.
It's basic business practice. The company cares nothing about you. Now go back to work.

Illegal aliens have destroyed the US healthcare system.

Try this again due to site censorship. Illegal aliens are putting a massive strain on the healthcare system. Go to any emergency room and it is like you walked into a 3rd world country.

They get you on both ends, on the monthly premium, then a larger copay. It's almost to the point that I'm ready to cancel my health insurance. Start living like the illegal border crossers.

health care costs also keep rising because of a rising underclass that uses the emergency room for sore throats, then the hospitals bill the tax payers to make up the difference.

The people with private health care insurance pay the bills. I needed an MRI years ago. I could have paid $450 cash for it, but since I had "health insurance" my copay was $450 and they billed my insurance $4500. This is the model for health care in America.

we need to redirect American tax monies to government health programs like our blonde brothers in sweden and viking countries.

Health Insurance has continues to get worse for everyone since Obamacare passed. You get what you vote for!

The cost of health insurance has outpaced inflation for 30 years. Guess what? We have had republican and democrat Presidents the whole time. Want to blame a current President or possibly a past President, go ahead. The one thing that is constant is the greed of shareholders and the CEO's that are beholden to them The CEO's are just a tool to provide maximum profits, yet you blame whatever party is in power. The President elect doesn't have levers in their office that say "Inflation up" and "Inflation down". The CEO's are doing the shareholders will. As far as health care is concerned, there are THOUSANDS of Martin Shkreli aka (pharma Bro) that use the system to extract maximum profits from the health care system. That money comes from somewhere. Where o where could that be???
Next time you hear the President speak (no matter which political party you seem to attach to) understand this. You are a useful id--t, and dare not look at the man behind the curtain. The man behind the curtain is why your health insurance rivals you home mortgage.

You could never slug them. They have bodyguards!

I would not rely on this company for anything.

health insurance fees are causing havoc thru the entire american economic system.

I'm with you regarding being pi---d off. If I saw Stankey or Stephenson in a crowded room, I'd walk over and slug the ba----ds. Two worthless POS.
