What you are talking about is absolutely true. It just happened to someone we know. And to heap insult upon injury, though he is close to Medicare age, his wife is 3 years behind him, making the scramble for healthcare awful.
It was obvious age-discrimination, but the big companies have the big legal departments.

The same thing that has happened to hundreds of thousands of people over the years, of workers who were let go (under other manufactured reasons) because either they, their spouse and/or children...were costing too much on their company's health plans.
It's real easy for those of us who never experienced that horrible situation to minimize it, but then again, not really caring about other folks/the less fortunate and only putting oneself first...is a cancer that infects a large portion of this great country.
