State County City Workers Healthcare

So I embrace the message most of you sent in Novermber, let government employees buy their own healthcare insurance like the people they threw to the wolves in November, and take the burden off the taxpayers.

I "fended" for myself, why can't others? Oh I forget, the people that actually work for a living are supposed to take care of everyone else.

Let me clarify. You think that because government employees have a good job (in most cases) they should not have good insurance? Let me teach you something scooter. Government employees contribute just as much as you in taxes. We pay the same rate at the register. Our property tax is just like yours. You people who think the rank and file should suffer for the decisions of upper management are so clueless. Almost vindictive.
