One thing that always bugged me here in Fl. when I managed a department for a major corp. here in Lady Lake. I had 12 young ladies working for me. My company offered medical insurance to full time employees at a very reasonable rate of 24.00 weekly. You would be surprised at how many of the SINGLE ladies would NOT sign up for the insurance. They paid the FINE!. NOW here's what KILLED me, they would become PREGNANT, go to a woman's health clinic, then get on STATE INSURANCE!
THIS BUGGED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH DID ALL OF US HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR SORRY ASSES TO HAVE A BABY, WHEN THEY WERE ENTITLED TO AFFORDABLE INSURANCE FROM THEIR EMPLOYER?
DON'T YOU THINK THOSE LAWS NEED TO CHANGE?
In the years that the ACA was in effect my insurance at work went up only 1 year, and it was only a 10.00 a week increase the rates stayed pretty steady, so I would have to say that it did work for our company, the way it was promised. Before the ACA my insurance would increase by 20.00 or more weekly. I worked for this company for many years so I know how this was going up year after year.
