I just started a new job – I make more money, I work better and shorter hours, I’ve got more vacation time and there are more paid holidays.  The only thing that I’m not too crazy about is the prescription drug plan.  I have a prescription for my high blood pressure and acid reflux, my son takes a prescription for asthma and my wife seems to be on just about everything under the sun.  I think I probably should have looked into the companies insurance a little more before I accepted the job, I just might be losing money each month by having taken a position where I’m making more money.  It’s crazy how much medical expenses are in this country.  Oh well, Canada has free health care, it shouldn’t be long before the United States follows suit and jumps on the free health care bandwagon too, right.  I’ll just bide my time and wait for that day to come, then I’ll be rolling in the dough – that is, if I haven’t had to file bankruptcy because I can’t pay the medical bills that have built up by then.  Now I know why they pay their employees so well, because if they didn’t, in one year the flu season alone would have half of their staff in the poor house.
