That does suck for you. It's probably some stupid reason, too. Yeah, I guess for everyone that has no problems, there are many more who do.
"Many more" I'd say no, not 'many' more, though I have been in that predicament myself.
And yes, no need for a strip about it. If DCS did a blog rant, that would make more sense, but speaking through RD? That's just weird.
That's how DCS works, though. Happened in O&M as well, though not always as direct.
I would also like it pointed out that here, he supports the rushing of a bill that's impossible to read in the short time frame, HOWEVER he was staunchly against that when Bush was in office. Hypocrisy is a bountiful harvest, these days.
*edit* Oh, also, interesting note: The insurance agencies exist as they do today because of a democrat's policies. At one point in time, early-mid 20th century, there was a push to limit what pay could be for various types of work, thus creating set, tiered pay. Companies wanted to compete to get better employees, but were not allowed to pay above a certain amount based on experience. To counter this, and create more incentive for better people to work for you, "Benefits Packages" were created. These included things such as paid vacation, sick leave, and soon, health insurance. That policy of tiered pay was soon abandoned, but the idea of a benefits package was here to stay. Before all that, you would negotiate with your doctor, and if need be, take out a personal loan to pay for medical expenses, or work out a payment plan.
This is a 'trivia' level of knowledge, and I need to go home to look up the facts on this in order to back this up (at work and unable to access what I need).
And if I have my tail in a knot on this, then I apologize! It's something I think I recall from a "Business Ethics" class I took years ago.
