What I have been told, from a friend who works at Albertson's, is the her insurance costs are going from $12 amonth to $42 amonth for full family coverage. I told her she should be paying them for letting her work there if that is all she has to pay for medical insurance.

This doesn't mean that by year's end they'll lose their medical coverage --period. Chances are it means that by year's end they'll lose their current health care plan/coverage,and be enrolled in a new plan/coverage 01/01/04.

Remember, there's a difference between the truth and the whole truth.
