Halx, you seem to point out what an acquaintance of mine who is on strike told me. That they would only be covered 50% for hospitalization. Thats insane!
When I went to
www.saveourhealthcare.org I coudln't see anything that showed that. However, I did see that there would be increased yearly spending that would be equal to my own.
Its all very confusing for me. Not that I don't understand any of the facts, why people are striking, or why they're decreasing the value of benefits, but because I don't even know any of the worker's there names, but I know them by face and they know me. The entire Midnight/graveyard crew all recognize me, and all know me because of how few people come in at that time of night.
When I was about to walk into the grocery store, the first thing I noticed was the cashier whose line I always go to who looked up at me and said, "do us a favor brother"... I couldn't shop there knowing the guilt of harming the friendship in kindly acquaintance.

Its difficult.
