2020...

Despite the bold headline, that article starts with "The minimum wage was not the only factor ".
Hanapaa! I knew you Fries U grads would jump on this. The real min wage is always $0. Thatʻs what happens when government negotiates your wages for you through min wage laws.
 
After falling through a strange kink in space-time, I have the same doctor now that I had 15-20 years ago, although he is now working at a different place. Here is what I posted about it yesterday on Faceboook --

Today I had my first annual physical in15 years. The Doctor reviewed all of my test results and said everything was normal (except for the little things for which I am taking regular medication, of course). I guess if you live long enough just being alive is normal enough.

...and because my Medicare is now being routed through an HMO, it was all free (no charges or copay) including blood tests, lung capacity test, 2 chest x-rays, and 2 immunizations.​
Never free tootse.
 
That’s hilarious. They couldn’t stay in business so it’s labor’s fault! How much was the minimum wage that bankrupted them? $15 an hour is about $75/day (restaurant workers do about a 5 hour shift?) which is $375 a week so about $19,500 a year? Ha!
Iz, are you ever not an idiot about money?
A one employee restaurant huh? No wonder their going out of business. Lol!

Btw, itʻs never labors fault.
 
Healthcare is kinda funny in it that people tend to think Health Insurance is the same thing.

What do people call people who always complain, but are afraid to hold their own ideas up to face the same level of scrutiny? It's a kind of funny sad. Maybe we can call it funad from now on.
 
GM enjoyed bankruptcy...anybody driving a Chevy?

Lion... you have never been rich until you owned your first Cadillac.

The real scam of bankruptcy to me is that if Trump declares bankruptcy while running a casino, you guys praise him as a savvy businessman. But try and declare bankruptcy as a savvy move to avoid paying college loans? Try getting a golden parachute for yourself in personal bankruptcy court for running your personal finances like Trump got in any of his bankruptcies.

The system has become to squwed to the have's. People outrage is that Trump is able to use bankruptcy court is about the way the rest us aren't able to get away with the tricks and scams he does- simply because he's rich.
 
"You can keep your Doctor".
Here's a couple of "interesting" articles regarding the Affordable Health Care act.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6179527/

And yet... poll after poll shows that American taxpayers think ObamaCare makes their lives better.
It's time for congress to stop screwing around and actually craft some decent healthcare legislation. As a nation, we can't compete when 18% of our GDP gets spent on health cost and our Western competitors are running closer to 12%. Them's just the facts.

Yes they are. Separate healthcare premiums and health insurance premiums and the cost will come down.
