In Response to Health Care Reform: I am 58 yrs old and used to make a decent salary but now only make $26,000 a year. My take home pay every two weeks is $733. I was just informed that because of the new" health care law" I will have an additional $100 taken from my pay to cover the children of my coworkers who are 18 to 26 yrs old. I cannot live on what I'm making now. How is this affordable health care? Certainly not for me or the "working poor". Do you know what it costs to live in an apartment and pay for utilities and food these days? Posted by Marian22 I guess you better start figuring out a way to pull that (additional) $100 a month somewhere out of your budget if you want to continue your employers health plan. |
