Our local county employees may get their prescriptions filled with virtually no copay. The legislature proposed charging them more IF they didn't use the pharmacy in the county hospital. I thought that members of the union were going to take to the streets with pitchforks and torches. It's ridiculous.
I am appalled only more so by the teachers and union workers in Wisconsin. This is a difficult time in our country with budget concerns (whoever or whatever caused them) and the Wisconsin folk should "pay in" a modestly small share for the sake of benefits. Calling in Organize for America to bus in protesters from other parts of the country to participate in these antics and make the crowds look big is not fooling anyone.
