If a person has the skills to use their mind or brand to earn an income, why shouldn't they have an affordable health insurance option?
Or what about the early retiree with the savings to step away from his job?
Yep, in the conservative world.. we would all work 60 hours a week doing manual labor in unreglated factory conditions for our overlords until we die. Then we get thrown down the worker hole.
I should have added, full-time for insurance purposes should be 60 hours a week.

I wouldn't qualify for insurance. Guess I'm lazy. I only work 40 hours per week.

No.

Where did I ever once advocate that they shouldn't?
I said this whole part-time/full-time thing is moot, because Leviathan has insurance covered no matter who you are, and to paraphrase the ex-Speaker, that frees you from being trapped in a job, allowing you to pursue dreams.

Once more, where do I ever suggest retirees should not be able to retire and have insurance if they do?

We're 24/7, so we do twelve hour shifts,
three days one week, four days the other.
Work seven days every two weeks and
get four hours overtime. They like it.
There are many Americans out there that are not CEOs and business men and lawyers and doctors that work many hours and multiple jobs to insure a better life for their family.
Then you see it is the individuals responsibility.
Outsourcing and illegal aliens have already or soon will lower wages to where 60 hours will pay you what 40 hours did only ten years ago.
Both parties have signed off on it.
I'm still waiting for a 4 day/10 hour a day workweek.
I'm thinking I'd have Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays off-or do I want the extended weekend? MMh...
Oh so much gas would be saved by the nation doing so.
Personally I would save almost a weeks worth per month. That would be substantial as I drive 560 miles a week for work.
Spur the economy anyone?
