Why don't you check into the "benefits" these companies provide.

I recently gave anesthesia to a person having palliative surgery for stage 4, terminal cancer. This person's health insurance provided with the job would not pay enough to cover the chemotherapy needed for a very curable cancer.

Take a form of public transportation. Oh, I forgot, we don't have a workable infrastructure of public transportation as in Europe. I guess we will just become a 3rd world country. Why pay to improve the USA anyway?

They do it because they can do it here. Not because they can't afford it. The U.S. allows them to exploit employees BIG TIME.
I hope you're just as angry with the federal and state governments since they don't offer benefits to their part timers either.

So then he get's charity care for the rest, OR better yet, set up a payment plan of $5 a month.

Last time I stopped into McDonalds, everyone working there looked like senior citizens.

If all of us productive working people moved to Europe, who will pay for the Medicare of those disgruntled sapping retirees who watch Fox News all day?

If the story is true - and there is reason to believe now it is not, then I say, "Good for McDonalds".
