addendum to previous post

In my previous post, I mentioned my wife's former employer not paying the health insurance company, even though they were deducting health insurance from their paychecks.  We just found out that a coworker of hers who had a baby in November just got billed the full costs - meaning that the employer likely was not paying the health insurance company at least since October.  Holy shit.  That's, like, tens of thousands of dollars.  That by all right these new parents should've been covered for.  My wife was laid off Feb. 21st, so from October to Feb. 21st, these sacks of shit were deducting health insurance costs from everyone's paychecks, and not paying the health insurance company.

Fortunately, my wife didn't need anything medical during this timeframe.  She did get new glasses and contacts though, and we did get billed twice for it, but both times, the vision insurance, VSP, told us it was a mistake.  Wait and see, I guess, we may get stuck with that bill in the end, but at least it's "only" $300, and not $10,000+...

Dear rich people who wonder why so many people hate the rich...  when this is all said and done, the owners of this fucked company will somehow still be rich, maybe not by their own standards, but by the standards of 90% of the population.  Meanwhile, hundreds of workers are stiffed and some of them, like this new mom, will probably end up having to file for bankruptcy due to the owners' malfeasance.  We have a problem with wealth incumbency in America - due to LLCs, and bankruptcy, rich people don't become paupers anymore - they aren't financially ruined the way they once could be.  When you fuck this many people over and still get to live like a king, even after a brief stint in minimum security prison, the pitchforks and torches will eventually come out.
