I had a long conversation with my sister Kate this past Sunday. She was horrified to hear that many of our employees do not have health insurance. But at $10 per hour, the nursing assistants are hard pressed to afford $80 or more per month to cover themselves. For two or three children, they could pay almost $400 per month. That would be 25% of their gross pay. We need a nationalized health care system. When the very people who provide personal care to the ill, the fragile and the elderly cannot receive health care themselves, there is something wrong with the current health care system. JMHO.
