It's part of your compensation package--it's YOUR money! This means that allowing employers to decide what medications and procedures they will cover is no different than giving them the power to decide how you can spend your paycheck. bpadgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517111873755808766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-32145045573167668362014-07-11T14:17:51.237-07:002014-07-11T14:17:51.237-07:00That's just crazy talk.

The main thing I HATE about Obamacare (which -- so far -- has made me able to afford health insurance for the first time, albeit under threat of a penalty) is that it uses insurance corporations!
