The McJobs you're going to get these days don't carry healthcare. You'd basically be working a job and signing all of every paycheck over to the doctor. Whee.
Do you mean "pay for your own insurance?" Sure, okay. For an average family of four that "extra job" will have to pay between $12,000 and $18,000 - assuming everybody's pretty healthy. If Dad's got a heart condition, or Junior needs meds for ADHD, it could be a hell of a lot more.
You got a part-time job I could get that pays $18,000? With a schedule that I can work around my "day" job? That doesn't require me to have a Bachelor's degree in something?
Was laid off. Insurance was $300 = $3600.00 per year. It can be done. It seems you are a "can't" person or a "won't" person. I am not going to get in a pissing match with a person that complains about there situation and says the bad man is over there. "Woe is me" I one that gets out there and solves the problem. Finds the job, whatever it is to protect my family. I have dug myself out of being close to be homeless, without any help from the government. Other people can too. A lot of times, with pride getting in the way or laziness, people can't pull themselves out of the hole they find themselves in. When that happens, yes they need some help.
"Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps" has been the battle cry of people who just don't care at all about other people for hundreds of years. Lots of luck when *you* need some help.
Sure! That extra $200/week will definitely whittle down thousands & thousands of dollars in medical bills, and as a bonus grind you to a pulp as you overwork yourself because our health care system is abysmal.
And yes, there are plenty of positions of post-modern serfdom. Quantity is not quality.
Really, when I was laid off my healthcare for my wife and two kids was little over $300 a month. Again, if you want to sit back and complain and watch you kid sick. Go ahead. If not go get a job or two, if you don't, you should have never had kids. I would beg on the corner before sitting there.
That was thanks to COBRA, which expires eventually. Some folks get laid off from "real" jobs and there's not ever anything else for them to do except stock shelves at Wal-Mart.
You'd beg on the corner? With hundreds of people driving by you every day yelling "Get a job!?"
Or maybe instead of getting 12 WalMcJobs, none of which provide health insurance, he could get some assistance so that he could actually spend time with his family instead of working.
Dad *had* a job with good healthcare, but he was laid off so the company could show a better profit margin for the shareholders so that company's CEO could get another $150 million bonus on his way out the door for being brought up on charges of severe graft, corruption and blatant mismanagement.
Flame on.
