Being without health insurance is NOT the same as being without health care. Hospitals are required to take in emergency patients. Additionally, lots of people make that choice, I don't think I should be forced to pay for other peoples health insurance if they choose to have cable TV, a new car, high speed internet and a vacation instead.



Starting pay here is about $36K. A couple dozen CRAFT employees regularly pull in over 100K (with overtime). The company pays the greater share of health benefits. You'd be amazed at the number of full-time 'ees who decline health care coverage because they can get it free at the local hospital - which they drive to in their Lexus or Benz. They get no sympathy from me!
