The Issue
YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYER CAN CHANGE THE SYSTEM
Tell your employer not to select ANY of the publicly traded, wall street financed health care providers below. During open season, DEMAND that your company provide at least 1 provider option that is a mutual or nonprofit organization. Every provider has its problems and limitations, but Wall Street and the money business won't have their hand out asking for your premiums as their payment.
** NONPROFIT AND MUTUALS (ask for these providers)
