Going to copy and paste what I said in the Philly forum based on the one in Philly..
I went to go LOL at this on my lunch break from my JOB. Those people are such babies.
Yes, the corporations are indeed greedy. But it's the government that allowed the banks and coporations do this. They need to be in DC... and NOT here.
I saw someone wearing a sign "I'm a registered nurse with NO health insurance" I thought to myself "Why doesn't she look for work in different hospitals? I know 2 RNs who work at different hospitals...and are insured :-|"
Then I thought, ok..so why doesn't she just buy it? Buying directly from the company isn't that much more than payroll deductions.
A lot of it is just "wah, companies make money and we are expected to work"

That is just flat out wrong. For many people, especially those with families, buying insurance on the individual market is prohibitive.
What?
I can't go to Aetna or Blue Cross' site, look for a package that suits my needs...and pay for it?
I'm really confused.
The costs for even the most minimal coverage may be such that you cannot afford it. I know that I could not afford it. My current employer pays 100% of my costs, and enjoys a group discount. If my employer decided to pay me the money instead, and I tried to get the same exact coverage, it would cost me more than it costs my employer since I would not get that group discount, and therefore I could not afford it.

Have you looked at it? I know someone that has it and pays through the nose for it. Not blue cross but any insurance. If you aren't part of a group to spread the risk over then they stick it to you.

We need to form a group the individual insured group.
A story today revealed the Occupy Wall Street protests have devolved into a shameless display of moral depravity – with shocking (or perhaps not) interviews of protesters claiming to be getting high every day and having sex ‘in a tarp’ and out in plain view. For all the ‘tea bagger’ jokes the media couldn’t resist telling, perhaps they could come up with something this time around? The NY Post reports:
Lured by cheap drugs and free food, creepy thugs have infiltrated the crowd of protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park for Occupy Wall Street, The Post has learned.
“I got warrants. I’m running from the law,” boasted Dave, 24, a scrawny, unshaven miscreant in filthy clothes from Stamford, Conn. “I’m not even supposed to be here, but it’s as good a spot as any to hide.”
Wanted for burglary, the drug-addled fugitive said some of his hard-partying pals clued him in that the protest was a good place to be fed, get wasted and crash.
…
Drugs can be easy to score — a Post reporter was offered pot for $15 and heroin for $10.
They’ve already fueled at least one violent incident, when a wasted nut job socked a medical volunteer in the face before others hauled the attacker away.
“ It’s very classy. Your parents must be so proud,” Glenn said of the protest.
“Zuccotti Park smells now like an open sewer with people urinating and defecating in public,” Glenn said.
“Let’s just be honest. They’re animals,” Glenn said.
The post added that some protestors were there for free food – like the $16/lb salmon and cream cheese that was handed out the other day. Sex, drugs and criminals: Occupy Wall Street getting ugly – Glenn Beck

I doubt the veracity of this report. Glenn Beck and the New York Post don't have an agenda. Naaaaaaaah.
