This thread is the whole reason why I'll never work in the US. No health care, employment sucks... what other ways can the government screw its people over?

No. Employment doesn't suck. US workers make much more money on average than most countries.

And I don't really see the need for free health care. It's just another burden on the tax payer, makes the health care system a mess, and is useless anyway. There isn't a person in America who would die without free health care. The poor who really need it can already just go to the hospital in emergencies and be guaranteed treatment no matter how many hospital bills they have past due.

For once I agree with Tom. The universal healthcare won't work in a country of 300 million people. This would create as he said a huge burden on the tax payers. What would essentially be better would to not allow suing for malpractice and thus more people would be doctors so hospitals won't have to pay the doctors as much so then the healthcare cost would go down.

"At will" employment is basically you can quite or be fired without giving a notice or reason. Most people / places have the decency to give a notice &/or reason but it's not required.

That really sucks. If it is high security, go to the competitor and exchange super secret details for a contract that forbids you from ever being fired and a high salary. If it is gov't secrets, post them here, or sell to Russians.

I was up for over 200 hours with nothing more than caffeine. However, the doctor said I was an inch from getting sugar diabetes, no now I have to drink diet drinks until the old blood sugar goes down.
No but I'm guess your what? 90? Cause you just so darn mature </sarcasm>

That really sucks Tao.  What kind of work did you do?  And were you one of the higher paid employees?  They could be making cuts due to cost.
You think that a photograph is indisputable evidence?  Would you like me to show you a photograph of Barack Obama having sex with a gorilla?
