4. Cyn, I swear to god, if I hear that fricking argument from you ever again, I will come down to your apt. and smack you. Let me know when you’re a farm worker who clearly has no company to provide health insurance, or when you’re anything other than a man with opportunities to work jobs that provide insurance for you. It’s a lot cheaper to provide insurance that it is clean up the mess caused by not having it.

I did work in a low wage garment factory for 3 years. The people who worked alongside me STILL work there to this day and do not have health coverage. I took a man to ER who sliced his finger off with a 12" garment cutting blade. He paid for that visit with cash.
THEY chose to stay at that company. Some of these people are very smart and intelligent people. They CHOSE to stay at that company that provides NO INSURANCE benefits, even to the principal owners. I have helped a few of those people move from that company to companies that do provide benefits.
It's called choices. Plain and simple. Skogafoss' mother doesn't have many because she made OTHER choices that limited her current ones.
You could have easily continued to pursue you a different career when you came out of college, but you wanted things that made you make choices you didn't want to make.
