Which is just so unfair. But someone who is over 60 costs us over $1000 a month but someone 40 and under is $400 or less. It also means that people work part time will be covered as well. And none of this scheduling workers 29 hours a week to get out of offering them health insurance. That is BULLSHIT. Everyone us covered - PERIOD.
