Hey folks, it's medical insurance. As long as we keep calling it "health" insurance then freeloaders will always think that coverage should include just about anything.
KY Socialist Teacher's Union PINGbump!
I'm so glad The Boy is at Parochial School...
Maybe they can get rid of these union thugs and hire real teachers.
Why is it so wrong for them to want more? Please explain why it is wrong for them to want health care coverage for their families.
People in most states would rather spend tax money by building prisons than having a tax increase for your kids in school.
Yes, I am a teacher and a lot of the things at the state level with our union is stupid, but don't anyone dare say that fighting for health care is wrong. If I want health care through the school that I teach at, it would cost me $920 a month, YES a month.
And for the person who said that teachers know what you are getting into, remeber that when you don't get your raise or increase in your benefits.
Medical insurance is expensive, pay your own premiums. Reality check for institutional Dems who are now having to pay their own way through the quagmire that trial attorneys have created.
I have a 5,250 deductable and pay 400 a month for an HSA that covers catestrophic 100% after I dump in 7,500 into the till. The rest of my bill are paid out of pocket (though its tax deductable thanks to Newt Gingrich).
I HAVE NO SYMPATHY.
Fletcher seems really good. 2012 hopeful maybe?
Next to government, Unions are the biggest violators of individual rights.
Every school should have a "strike curriculum" in place. That would include auditorium style classes in which assignments are passed out and where students are tested on assignments. Studies and the school year keep going even if the teachers are not there to administer them.
Most administrators were at one time teachers. Certainly they can handle it. Unfortunately, most administrators and school boards are sympathetic to the teachers and thus will continue to do nothing when teachers strike.
The teachers have every right to strike. But that does not absolve the administration and the school board of its responsibility to keep the school functioning.
Collective bargaining is OK, but the teachers union is like 20 steps beyond reality and almost needs to be disbanded to get anything done for the kids.
If you don't like your job pay or benefits GET A NEW JOB! Oh and how many jobs pay on average 45K a year and you only work 10 months? Sounds like a decent gig to me.
Bump for later.
Time to pull a Reagan...
