You guys pay 500-800 a month for health insurance???? Really??

 

Not to brag or anything, but I only pay $312 a year for the Wife and I, and I have a $0 CoPay for everything. Dental is $5 per month, and I get $1000 allowance per year per person.

Of all things, REALITY TV? I guess Canadians really don't follow the NFL. :lol:

Just comparing it to ours.. Have you seen big brother Canada??? It's absolutely terrible. We just don't put the money into it like the states

 

O and we have the CFL... Bigger footballs and more yards.. Although I still rather watch the nfl.

I don't know anyone who pays that much per month on health insurance. Even for family plans.

 

 

I pay about $100/month but because I work for a smallish company it costs more. Bigger companies tend to be cheaper. Family insurance might be like $230. If someone is spending $800/month for insurance they're getting shafted. And my overall deduction percentage isn't even 30% not counting 401k contribution so I don't know where those numbers come from. I have lots of customers I've talked at length with in Canada about taxation and such and Canada definitely takes a bigger bite, especially in the eastern provinces but y'all seem to get more shit from it- like your govt is a bit better at spending the tax dollars but then again it's the US that keeps the bad guys overseas in line. This budget crap is complex. :lol:

 

You have to consider some companies don't provide healthcare, and some price gouge tremendously. Try getting a family plan without employer assistance and see what it is ;)

 

My brothers company is a decent company.. Steel / Metal Fab company with about 200 employees.. Costs him 40$ or so a pay check for himself. He had to drop his wife from the plan because it was 461$ a month.

 

I'm not saying in all cases.. because at work my 1500deductable plan with 85/15 is ZERO for single full-time workers, and we get decent other benefits as well. Not no Microsoft but decent.

 

Reason I posted is to see if there were any similar instances out their, I guess that my brother lands in the minimum. Before I took the free plan at work i was covered by Tricare for 51$ a month through the military so It was never an issue of where I worked. But I know I have seen some people paying 400+ easy for premiums per month.

 

My total deductions before 403b comes out is 30-31% total between Federal/ state taxes, Fica and social security.

I'd rather pay for my healthcare too. Then I don't have to wait 6 hours to get stitches. Free healthcare is a joke, not enough beds, doctors get paid by the patient so they don't call in the on-call...free healthcare is a joke in a way. I would pay monthly fee to have better service. Damn straight.

Yes Sir it is. We renew our contract in December, and I think it will end up going up in price somewhat, which sucks, but for as good as it is I won't mind to much as long as it doesn't go through the roof.

Say what you want about me but have you seen what this country is turning into? I refuse to raise a child in this country as long as homosexuality, taking guns from innocent people, and a corrupt president are considered OK. I am ashamed of what this country has become. And in no way did I disrespect anyone that serves or served so you need to chill out.

If politics are going to be thrown around, why not make a damn thread dedicated to it so people can have fights about it their instead of anywhere info/entertainment is norm. I think it is healthy to voice an opinion on your view of politics so this is a suggestion so nothing goes further in this thread.

This has come up before. It is against site rules and it opens up for harassment and bashing.

Leaving that crap off here is smart some people get butthurt and say stupid things. Look at me, my warning point was from insulting an American guy with some total left wing opinions. Turns out he was a mod LOL.

 

If you wanna argue politics or talk about street racing join the DF or pirate4x4, anything goes....

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
