isPermaLink="false">http://www.sundriesshack.com/?p=9522#comment-685066</guid> <description>How about instead of firing an employee, you just cut everyone&#039;s salaries?  It&#039;s still a bargain for them because they now have health insurance.  Last time I had health insurance, I contracted for the company first.  As a result, I took a $50,000 a year pay cut.  Why would I do that?  Because I can&#039;t get health insurance on the individual market.  I&#039;m uninsurable.  And given the $2-3 Million dollars in health care costs I&#039;ll incur about 15 years from now, the amount of money I need to save to self-insure is close to what I make before taxes.  My only choice is to give up my business and hide out in an employer-based insurance plan.  I&#039;m better off making $75K a year with insurance than $175K a year without it.  And even if I had insurance, there is no guarantee they&#039;d actually cover anything.  Insurance companies are under no obligation to pay for any treatment at all.  They can just drop you when you get sick, and they don&#039;t have to refund your premiums.  Without some kind of serious reform, my plan is simple: make as much money as I can over the next eight years, and then move to Thailand where I can afford the treatment I will inevitably need.  And I&#039;ll take my rather formidable engineering skills to work for a Thai company that competes against Americans.  And given that I design the new medical products that Americans rely on, maybe you should think about the value I provide to our health care industry.  But what else can I do?  Am I supposed to sacrifice my life to save the American insurance industry?  Don&#039;t count on it.  I&#039;d rather help Thailand become a world leader in medical technology. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How about instead of firing an employee, you just cut everyone&#039;s salaries?
