I’m guessing that the ‘husband’ isn’t really married to her and thus couldn’t put her on the policy. It is the only thing that I can fathom as an excuse for it.
Any job I ever took was predicated on the requirement that I could get health insurance for myself and my family. Money came second.
I guess liberals think somebody else ought to take care of that pesky need.
I’m not sympathetic to her problem, but a LOT of employment related coverages are dropping spouses and children.
It’s just too expensive for a lot of businesses.
And with jobs so scarce in the Baraqqi Depression, all the leverage is with the employer.
Another provision of the act that some companies are taking advantage of is that spouses who work do no not have to be covered. This doesn’t explain whey he did not cover her before, but might explain why he doesn’t now.
