BigRedBuster Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Have to admit, I’ve thought about the same thing. It really is amazing how much more a smoker costs an employer. Link to comment

Claiming that "liberal snowflakes" are taking away freedoms... No, this is a private company making a business decision based on costs of another private insurance company. This is the free market at work. And amazingly, I've yet to see these same people freak out that Trump just signed a law that raised the age of smoking by three years. Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 This could be a very good series of articles. I just finished reading the first installment on this. It's on Taiwan's single payer plan. It does a great job of laying out the plusses and minuses to the system. Yes, it appears to be better than what we have now. But, it's not all roses and daffodils. Making the system work is hard and sacrifices would need to be made by everyone. 1 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Second installment. Australia. Again, not a perfect system. There are issues they will need to fix. But, still better than the US. 1 Link to comment
