They are striking for 100 % health care benefits

I didn't know that. Yeesh, I have never had 100% paid anything.

Times have changed. It used to be that unions would strike for increase in wages. No longer.

I have a friend who told me that she and her husband can no longer afford health insurance. They are a small business owner and their rates increased from $300 to $500 a month this summer. So they dropped their insurance.
