health insurance is expensive and so is co-pay.
- IBMFeb 13, 2019StarStarStarStarStar
Insurance costs are very high - Insurance has become very restrictive about paying for any costly medications - Almost any health issue forces you to high deductible plan - Plan administration - particularly prescriptions is poor and prone to errors (CVS) Bonuses are limited to the very top performers only

As a contractor, I get -0- benefits. No paid vacation, no sick time.. nothing. I work and I get paid for that hour. Then I get furloughed and left to rot.
