[Vision2020] The CO-OP Sells Stuff From China/Wal-Mart Salary

[Tom Hansen]

How soon Arnold forgets what he says –

 

Compare:

 

“Many people at Wal-mart make more than you do. The Wal_Mart health
insurance program is better than the UI Student H! ealth Insurance program,
and it comes with the job.”

Arnold, a quote is that stuff between quotation marks.  Anything outside
those quotation marks is considered the author’s interpretation.

 

Enough friggin’ said, ok?

 

Take care, Moscow.

PS to Arnold – I do not recall you asking (or my permitting you) to address
me by my first name.  I prefer our relationship to remain as is. To me you
are, and will always be, “Arnold”.  To you, I desire to remain “S**thead
Hansin”.

safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'”

Tom,

Now you are fabricating stuff I wrote. What I said was that many Wal-Mart
employees make more than you do. And that their insurance is better than UI
student health insurance.

I never made a reference about your health insurance, which you get from the
federal government from a previous job, not from a job currently held in
Moscow. 

The federal government can provide great health insurance because they can
run $6 trillion in the hole, hire and train their own doctors, nurses, and
assistances, and build their own hospitals, a private business cannot.

If, by your latter sentence, you are suggesting that Wal-Mart is better than
the insurance program in which I am a member, Arnold, let me fully assure
you that you couldn’t be more wrong.

 

I am NOT a subscriber/user/member of UI’s Blue Cross insurance plan! .  I am
a member of Tri-Care.  Tri-Care’s premiums are virtually non-existent.  The
most I ever pay for prescriptions under Tri-Care’s co-pay policy is $9.00.
As far as medical/hospital coverage under Tri-Care is concerned:  Two years
ago I underwent a double hernia operation at Gritman.  In addition to the
operation, Tri-Care covered a two-night stay at Gritman.  The invoice total
was in excess of $10,000.  Out-of-pocket I paid $359.50.  My Tri-Care policy
currently expires at age 65.  However, due to slow and deliberate
degeneration of Medicare, consideration is currently being given to
extending Tri-Care policies for life.

 

The reason why I explained this, Arnold, is to suggest that not only should
UI adopt an insurance program comparable to Tri-Care, but Wal-Mart should
offer its employees nothing less.

 

And . . . oh, yeah . . . my Tri-Care policy came with my job up until I
retired and continues to this day.

 

Take care, Moscow.
