11. Really?

Well my brother has worked for Bayer for 33 yrs+ and his division was bought out in January. He lost his life-time healthcare benefit and is pissed because he has heart disease and has had 7 stents. When he passed his 30 yrs, they offered to take him to lunch with his co-worker. What a shock as he waited for that usual 30 yr party with friends and family but nope, new protocol was NOTHING like that, just lunch at the cafeteria. We really need Congress to keep these corporations on the up and up, but not with all of those republicans calling the shots.
