HEALTH INSURANCE
Can you afford to get sick?
Many people don’t have any health insurance, some can barely afford it, and those who can afford it often pay a large percentage of their hourly wage.
There is no sign of a solution coming from the industry or government.
Example working NON-UNION:
Your Insurance costs $200 per month
You are working 160 hours per month
= $1.25 per hour SUBTRACTED from your rate
HOW MUCH IS YOUR HEALTH CARE COSTING YOU?
Union Health Care
