Noted and signed. Thanks Rose. Not only are we way behind most of the civilized world on health care, but we also lack basic sick leave and annual leave in most of the private sector. The only people I see getting more than a couple of weeks off a year are the CEO's, and they don't need it nearly as much as the regular employees.

Your signature has been recorded. This is absolutely sickening. Another reason for Universal Health care.

Wake up Americans and get your rose colored glasses off. Why has this been allowed to happen?

S & N, thanks for the forward, Dandelion. People get sick, we don't ask to get sick, the real sickness is from those who fire a person who is sick.

Signed & Noted. Thank you, Rose....and Dandelion for the link. So, if Obama gets re-elected, maybe we have a chance for passing Universal Health Care or single-payer...if we can get a more progressive Congress. I don't think Willard will push for any of that, seeing as he keeps flip-flopping on what sort of health care plan he does support.

Noted and signed. These companies think they have us over a barrel because of the economy. But I have news for you, corporate america. There is alot of strong people who can earn a living without you. It's called independent contractor and/or entrepenuer.
