Health Care Bill – What’s In It For Me?

Are you struggling with the appropriate words to answer the wingnuts who are up in arms (some literally) over the historic Health Care legislation of 2010/2014?

Something more well-chosen than

WTF are you Repugnants thinking!?

Well, here comes help from The Washington Post -

The Post has created a very useful interactive tool to help you figure out how the new law will apply to your own health care situation. It looks at what your health coverage and taxes will be based on your income, family size and current insurance status.

Check out the Online Interactive Health Care Evaluation Tool

The first question, not surprisingly, is

Do you have health insurance?

At the very least, get the facts for your own benefit…I doubt if you can say anything to sway the rabid ranters.

Maybe they’ll change their minds (and tactics) by 2012…

Of Course You Hate Your Job: You’re American

And, according to a new report form the Conference Board, if you’re under 25, 65% of you are dissatisfied with your current job (and the prospects are pretty dim, too).
Slate quotes a Time article -

…that only 45 percent of Americans are satisfied with their jobs—the lowest number since the group began conducting the poll 22 years ago. Researchers suspect the drop may be caused by two factors: workers’ growing disinterest in their jobs (in another record low, only 51 percent of people polled said they found their work interesting), and poor wage growth in comparison to the cost of living.

The report continues, while growing dissatisfaction can be somewhat pegged to the recession, economists say that the trend has been on the rise since the ’80s.

Not happy with your J-O-B? Maybe it’s time to activate Plan B.
