Back to the GM post - a question:
What would you do if your health benefits were cut? Do you feel you have enough financial resources to cover your health care needs (before and after eligibility for Medicare), go back to work? I, for one, could not have retired when I did (I'm 54) if my husband did not have a good retiree health plan.
Will we be forced by employee benefit cuts such as those at GM to increase federal and state spending for increased health care? Do you feel that in their quest for shareholder returns that corporations are in fact driving us to socialized medicine?
Something to think about before the election as well...
